LessonsThe Scope of General Expressions, Specification and Solitary ReportsQuiz

لأن المخصِّص الذي أخرج البعض عن الجملة لو أخرج بعضاً مجهولاً يثبت الاحتمال في كل فرد معيَّن
If the specifying evidence removes some unidentified members from a whole, each particular member may become subject to uncertainty about inclusion.

For example, suppose a rule initially covers “all applicants,” but it is later known that certain applicants are excluded without identifying them. One must now investigate each applicant before assuming inclusion with the same confidence.

The general expression has not lost its entire effect. Rather, the confidence with which every particular case is included has changed.
