The triliteral root fā tā yā (ف ت ي) occurs in the Quran 21 times.

(4:127) And they ask you (Arab. وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ, wayastaftūnaka) for divine instruction concerning women. Say, "God instructs you (Arab. يُفْتِيكُمْ, yuf'tīkum) regarding them, as has been recited for you in the book about the rights of orphans whose mothers you want to marry without giving them their legal rights. You shall observe the rights of powerless children, and your duty to treat orphans with equity. Whatever good you do, God has full knowledge of it.

(37:149) So ask them (Arab. فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ, fa-is'taftihim): "Are the daughters for your Lord, while the sons are for them?"
