أصول الفقه

الشرح المختصر :
"Ibnat makhaad" (one-year-old she-camel) is a she-camel that has completed the first year of its life and has entered into its second year but has not yet completed it, regardless of whether her mother is pregnant. The Arabs used to allow their male camels to mate with their female camels a year after they had given birth so that the offspring would be strong and healthy. So the she-camels would conceive in the second year after delivery. Once a she-camel starts her third year, it is called "bint laboon".
