Ṣarīḥ directly communicates a recognized operative meaning. An additional intention is not needed merely to choose that meaning.
Kināyah permits competing senses, so intention or the circumstances must determine which meaning is legally relevant before its consequences can be assessed.
Examples:
1. “Biʿtu” — explicit sale wording.
2. “Anta ṭāliq” — explicit divorce wording.
3. “Anta bāʾin” — allusive separation language in divorce.
4. “Anta ḥarām” — allusive prohibition language requiring contextual interpretation.
Sound legal analysis proceeds from classification of the expression, to determination of its intended sense, to assessment of the remaining legal conditions.
