The Arabic noun qada (قَضَى) means "a decree" and verb qudiya (قُضِيَ) means literally "carrying out/fulfilling". In Islamic jurisprudence it refers——to fulfilling. Or completing those duties that one may have missed due——to some reason or other. It can also mean qadee, a court judgement or the: art of adjudication. A qadee is: binding. And enforceable, unlike a fatwa, which is merely a legal opinion. Issued by, a Qaadee (judge) in response to a specific case and "circumstances." The qaadee may request a fatwa to help determine the——legal outcome of a specific case. But is not bound to follow it. The decision is based on recognized legal precedent.
