ModeInitial wordingFunction of later wording
TaqrirApparent but allows alternativesConfirms the apparent meaning
TafsirIntended object obscureIdentifies the unknown
TaghyirComplete/general or unqualified statementChanges its scope by condition or exception
Example 1: “One thousand, in local currency” — confirmation of the apparent meaning.
Example 2: “An unspecified surplus, meaning one dirham” — interpretation of the obscure surplus.
Example 3: “Ten except three” — alteration of the admitted amount.
Taqrir and tafsir can function as separate explanations; taghyir requires continuity with the initial utterance. This framework prepares the distinction from the four remaining modes of clarification.
