A section on specific and general expressions.
The khāṣṣ (specific expression) denotes a determined meaning or referent individually. The ʿāmm (general expression) encompasses multiple individuals within its scope. Both have determinate verbal meanings, but their reach differs.
“Zayd” denotes a particular individual, while “Muslimūn” can encompass a group of Muslims. Determining this verbal scope helps identify how broadly a stated ruling applies.
