وحكم المطلق: أن يكون الأداء واجباً على التراخي بشرط أن لا يفوته في العمر.
An unrestricted duty may be fulfilled with deferment, provided its fulfilment is not lost within the person's lifetime.
Deferred fulfilment means the address does not necessarily require execution at the first instant of possibility. It does not cancel the obligation or license confident abandonment.
If an expiation becomes due, the liability continues despite the passing of a day. The legal question concerns the timing of discharge, not whether there is a duty at all.
This is the Hanafi analysis developed in the passage; jurists have differed over whether an unrestricted command implies immediate execution.
