الْقَوْلُ بِالْمُوجَبِ
Accepting an implication in order to redirect an opponent’s claim.

Identify the property or consequence advanced by an opponent, then show how the response accepts the wording or an implication while redirecting it toward a different conclusion. An apparent concession deprives the original objection of its intended force.

This is not identical with any pun or sarcastic reply. The technique requires a demonstrable relation between the opponent’s assertion and the response, not merely a word with two meanings.
