LessonsTawjīh, Serious Intent in Jest, Feigned Ignorance, Qawl bi-l-Mūjib and IṭrādQuiz

In the first form, an opponent introduces a quality as the basis for a preferred judgment. The response establishes that same quality of a different, rightful subject, without conceding the opponent’s intended conclusion.

The pattern is:
1. The opponent uses an attribute to support a claim.
2. The response assigns that attribute to another referent.
3. The wording’s force is preserved, but the original claim is overturned.

The reply works by locating the attribute correctly, not merely by flatly denying it.
