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

ولد المغصوبة ليس بمضمون؛ لأنه ليس بمغصوب
The child of an unlawfully seized enslaved woman is not covered by liability for usurpation in that particular capacity, since the child was not itself seized.

In this historical example, the specific cause of liability for usurpation is unlawful dispossession of the owner. If that same act is not independently established in relation to the child, the conditions of this particular form of liability change.

This illustrates the opposite case: when the ruling is truly tied to a defined exclusive legal act, its absence can matter. It does not imply that every other possible responsibility has also been ruled out.
