LessonsArgument Without New Proof: Absence of a Cause and Presumption of ContinuityQuiz

عدم خصوص تلك العلة لا يستلزم عدم الحكم
The absence of this particular cause does not necessitate absence of the ruling.

One cause may fail while another legally sufficient cause remains. For example, the absence of a familiar kind of kinship or responsibility does not automatically remove all other possible bases for a legal consequence.

The correct sequence is to identify the ruling's proof, list relevant causes, and then establish whether the cause is exclusive. Without exclusivity one may say “this cause does not establish the ruling,” but not yet “the ruling has no possible basis.”
