مُرْجِىءٌ ذ [act. part. n. of أَرْجَأَ], (S, K,) and مُرْجٍ [act. part. n. of أَرْجَى], (S, [in which, however, it is not clearly shown whether the author means that this corresponds to مُرْجِىءٌ or that it is a rel. n. corresponding to مُرْجِئِىٌّ, the former being certainly the case,]) or not thus, but مُرْجِىٌّ, (K,) so some say, (TA,) but this is a rel. n. like مرْجِئِىٌّ, (IB, TA,) A man who is one of [the sect called] ↓ المُرْجِئَةُ (S, K) and المُرْجِيَةُ, without teshdeed to the ى (K,) accord. to J, المُرْجِيَّةُ, with teshdeed, (IB,) but this is incorrect, unless as meaning those who are called in relation to the مُرْجِيَة, for otherwise it is not allowable. (IB, TA.) The sect called the ↓ مُرْجِئَة [and مُرْجِيَة] are [A sect of Muslim antinomians;] a sect of Muslims who assert that faith (الإِِيمَان) consists in words without works; as though they postponed works to words; asserting that if they do not pray nor fast, their faith will save them: (TA:) a sect who assert that disobedience, with faith, does not injure; and that obedience, with disbelief, does not profit: (KT:) or a sect who do not pronounce judgment upon any one for aught in the present life, but defer judgment to the day of resurrection: (Msb:) those who decide not, against the committers of great sins, aught as to pardon or punishment; deferring the judgment respecting such sins to the day of resurrection. (Mgh in art. جهم.) ― -b2- مُرْجِىءٌ is also applied to a she-camel, and a pregnant female [of any kind], as meaning Near to bringing forth; and so مُرْجِئَةٌ. (TA.)
