One opponent says: “The proposed characteristic is not established in the original case.” This is denial of the attribute (manʿ al-waṣf). Another says: “Even if the attribute exists, your claimed original ruling is not established.” This is denial of the ruling (manʿ al-ḥukm). A third identifies a legally operative difference between original and branch: farq.
The replies differ: establish the attribute, establish the original ruling, or assess whether the alleged difference actually defeats the analogy.
Assessment principle: “The analogy is wrong” does not identify the objection. One must specify which component of the reasoning is being challenged.
