هَلِ الْحَرَكَةُ دَائِمَةٌ؟
Is motion perpetual?
This asks not whether motion exists at all, but whether permanence is predicated of motion. Answering merely “motion exists” does not settle the question; the permanence claim must be affirmed or denied.
The distinction corresponds to the familiar simple/compound hal-question of logic. Both still seek taṣdīq, not identification of an unknown alternative.
