Istithna’i reasoning explicitly affirms or denies a component of a conditional or disjunctive premise. In connected conditionals, affirming the antecedent and denying the consequent are valid core patterns. With disjunctions, rules depend on whether options are exclusive, exhaustive, or both. Iqtirani reasoning links premises to produce a conclusion not stated verbatim in them. The next lesson covers induction and analogy.
