LessonsModes of Clarification: Necessity, Circumstance, Conjunction and ReplacementQuiz

«وأما بيان العطف: فمثل أن تعطف مكيلاً أو موزونًا على جملة جملة يكون ذلك بيانًا للجملة»
“Conjunctive clarification occurs, for instance, where a measured or weighed item is joined to an undifferentiated total, clarifying the total.”

A person may state simply “one hundred” without identifying one hundred of what. In some legal admissions, an item attached by conjunction clarifies the type of the earlier number.

The conjunction does not merely juxtapose unrelated items. It can make the kind of the later item explain an earlier ambiguous quantity. Yet not every later item has this effect; the relevance of measurable or weighable goods and admission of a debt is important.

First ask whether the prior number is indeterminate; then whether the following item is legally and linguistically suited to identify its kind.
