♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008): ‘the old expression fasaqat il-ruṭabaẗu ‘the fresh, ripe-soft date emerged out of its skin’, is often quoted as an illustration for the central meaning of this root, namely, s.th. coming forth from another mainly in a bad or corrupt manner. The Qur’an extends the original meaning to include the concept of acting outside moral and social norms in general and violating Islamic teachings in particular. Certain actions of Muslims, as well as non-Muslims, are described as fisq. All actions described as kufr (q.v.) can also be described as fisq, but not vice versa (see širk). Fisq is used to describe actions widely ranging from those as drastic as denying God, to much lesser ones such as eyeing up a woman lecherously. Other derivative meanings include ‘disobedience’, ‘breaking away from social norms’ and ‘deserting the community’.
