The condition (al-shart).
In the linguistic sense, a condition means a sign or marker.
As for its technical definition,
according to the terminology of the jurists (fuqaha'),
it is that which, in its absence, the act itself is absent,
yet its presence does not necessitate the presence of the act.
An example of this:
Wudu (ablution) is a condition for the validity of prayer.
If it is absent, the prayer is negated.
Yet, the mere presence of wudu does not necessitate the existence of prayer.
