فَإِنْ أَجَازَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَضْرَةِ صَاحِبِهِ جَازَ، وَإِنْ فَسَخَ لَمْ يَجُزْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْآخَرُ حَاضِرًا
Translation: Affirmation is valid even without the other party present, whereas rescission requires the other party’s presence under the ruling stated here.
Quduri does not give identical procedural rules for affirming and rescinding.
Affirmation: valid even in the other party’s absence.
Rescission: requires the other party to be present under the stated rule.
Commentary explains presence in relation to the other party knowing of rescission. Applying this rule to modern communications requires its own legal analysis rather than treating every message as automatically sufficient.
