Suppose the speaker says, “I owe 100 dirhams, except one garment.” *Fath al-Qadir* and *Al-Ikhtiyar* distinguish the garment from the dinar and measured wheat in this particular type of exception.
Even Abu Hanifa and Abu Yusuf do not validate that garment exception. Knowing its market price does not by itself cure the legal defect, and the result also accords with Imam Muhammad's objection. Therefore one cannot say “the garment is worth 20, so 80 is due”: the full 100 dirhams remain admitted.
