LessonsThe Scope of General Expressions, Specification and Solitary ReportsQuiz

فإذا قام الدليل على تخصيص الباقي يجوز تخصيصه بخبر الواحد أو القياس
When evidence establishes further specification of the remaining class, a solitary report or analogy may be used to specify it.

Once valid specification has occurred, the remaining generality bears a degree of interpretive possibility. On that basis, Hanafi usul allows certain additional exclusions by khabar al-wāḥid or qiyās.

This differs from the earlier rule concerning an unrestricted general text because the evidentiary state of the expression has changed. Further exclusion still requires a recognized proof, not mere preference.
