When two accepted reports appear opposed, the first method is jam‘ (reconciliation): interpret each within a meaning warranted by the Arabic, context, and other sound evidence, so that each retains an appropriate sphere of operation.
Reconciliation is not permission to distort the plain wording, invent unsupported exceptions, or impose a contrived reading merely to avoid disagreement.
Illustration: one reliable report states a broad permission while another prohibits the act in a qualified circumstance. If adequate evidence establishes that qualification, both can apply in their respective settings; abrogation is unnecessary.
