Borrowed from Arabic وَاجِب (wājib).

  1. (Islam) A religious duty; something that Muslims are obliged to do.
    • 2004, Norman Calder; Jawid Mojaddedi; Andrew Rippin, Classical Islam: A Sourcebook of Religious Literature, Routledge, →ISBN, page 169:
      Further, that bounties are wajib, so revealed obligations are wajib. These cannot be known except through a prophet. So the existence of prophets is wajib, for that without which a binding duty (wajib) cannot be completed is itself wajib.
