وفي تخصيص النوع: رجل
“Rajul” (man) illustrates specification of a type.

A specific expression is not necessarily a person's proper name. “Rajul” identifies a determined type of meaning, rather than an unrestricted and undefined subject.

The classification of a type must not be confused with a plural expression such as “al-rijāl” when it is used to range over its members. Identifying a type and applying a ruling to an entire group are different matters.
