(Faajir). Depending upon the root from which fajir derives it can mean either 'a man who commits sinful acts of infidelity' or 'a man who manifests or unveils what is veiled'. That is, he can either be a disbeliever or he can be one who manifests the Absolute through being a locus of Self-disclosure of the Absolute. One who moves from one Shaykh to another or sits in the gathering of a Shaykh other than his own disregards and disrespects the bond he has with his Murshid is also called a faajir, because this is an act of infidelity.
