LessonsModes of Clarification: Necessity, Circumstance, Conjunction and ReplacementQuiz

«بخلاف قوله: مائة وثوب، أو مائة وشاة، حيث لا يكون ذلك بيانًا للمائة»
“By contrast, ‘one hundred and a garment’ or ‘one hundred and a sheep’ does not, on the principal view here, clarify the hundred.”

A single garment or sheep does not play the same role in a general debt admission as an identified monetary or measurable item. Its conjunction therefore does not necessarily determine the category of the earlier hundred.

Abu Yusuf differs: he allows the conjunctive explanation to extend to these counted goods as well.
