Majaz aqli concerns the attribution of an act or an action-related meaning. The act is apparently ascribed to something the speaker does not regard as its literal performer or bearer, while an intelligible relation makes the attribution appropriate.
Often the individual words retain their normal lexical senses. What is transferred is the predication or attribution.
This distinguishes it from lexical majaz, where the movement chiefly concerns the use of a word for a different referent.
