LessonsHaqiqah, Majaz, Sarih and Kinayah: Definitions and RulingsQuiz

حكمها: وجوب ما وضع له خاصا كان أو عاما.
The ruling of haqiqah is to give effect to the meaning for which the expression was assigned, whether the expression is particular or general.

Because the expression has been used in its assigned sense, it should not be shifted to another sense without grounds. Whether that literal expression is khass or ʿamm is a separate issue; literalness and scope should not be confused.
