(TA.) It is said in a trad., He was asked respecting the blood of fleas, [whether it rendered a garment impure,] and said إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاحِشًا فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ If it is not excessive, or beyond measure, there is no harm in it.

(IJ.) It is said in a trad., لَا تَكُونِى فَاحِشَةً, meaning Be not thou a trangressor of the proper bounds or limits in reply: which words were addressed to 'Áïsheh: (K, TA:) but accord. to one relation, the words were لَا تَقُولِى فَاحِشَةً.

(Msb, TA.) Also, particularly, Adultery, or fornication; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) and so ↓ فَحْشَآءُ: (Bd in xii. 24; &c.:) so in the Kur iv. 23 and lxv. 1 [as well as in numerous other instances]: or the فاحشة [or excess] there mentioned is the women's going out without permission: (Mgh, Msb:) or their using foul language against their husband's relations, by reason of the sharpness of their tongues. (Esh-Sháfi'ee.) And ↓ فَحْشَآءُ particularly signifies Niggardliness, tenaciousness, or avarice, (A, K,) in the payment of the poor-rate: or the abstaining [altogether] from paying it. (TA.)
