LessonsAzimah and Rukhsah: Original Rulings, Excuses, and Two Forms of ConcessionQuiz

العزيمة: هي القصد إذا كان في غاية الوكادة
Azimah linguistically denotes a firm intention accompanied by the strongest emphasis.

Compared with an ordinary wish, azm conveys determination and resolve. This explains why a strongly established original legal demand may be called azimah.

The linguistic sense is not itself the full legal definition. A person's firm decision about an ordinary matter does not make that matter a legal azimah. The subject here is the law's original ruling and the binding quality of that ruling.
