LessonsLegal Signification of Fi and Ba: Circumstance, Condition and AttachmentQuiz

«غَصَبْتُ ثَوْبًا فِي مَنْدِيلٍ، أَوْ تَمْرًا فِي قَوْصَرَةٍ»
“I usurped cloth in a wrapper, or dates in a basket.”

Here fi describes an actual object within another object. Both the contents and the enclosing article can be implicated in the taking; hence the ruling «لَزِمَهُمَا جَمِيعًا»: responsibility for both.

The expression therefore does not automatically restrict liability to the inner item alone. It should not, however, be applied without adjustment to a divorce statement in which a place cannot literally contain the legal effect.
