LessonsEllipsis in Istiʾnāf and Two Grounds for WaṣlQuiz

The classical system distinguishes six relations between independent clauses. Four call for faṣl: complete disjunction without ambiguity, complete connection, quasi-complete disjunction, and quasi-complete connection.

Two call for waṣl: a misleading interpretation would follow from separation, or distinct clauses stand between complete union and separation while sharing a proper connector (jāmiʿ). These are two different justifications.
