LessonsParticles Hatta, Ila and Ala: Scope, Limits and Legal ConsequencesQuiz

«وَإِنْ أَفَادَ الْإِسْقَاطَ تَدْخُلُ»
Where ila functions by excluding part of a scope, the endpoint is included for that purpose.

Here “exclusion” means removing part of what would otherwise fall under a broad expression. Sometimes the boundary item must also be counted in the excluded scope, or the intended limitation would fail.

An option period in a sale and certain time-limited oaths illustrate this principle. “Everything after ila is excluded” is therefore too crude a rule.
