LessonsThe Scope of General Expressions, Specification and Solitary ReportsQuiz

ولا يُترَك العمل به بالقياس على الغصب
The general scriptural rule is not set aside by analogy to usurpation.

Usurpation raises financial liability when another person’s property is wrongfully possessed and destroyed. One argument transfers that principle to theft. In the method being explained, however, qiyās does not by itself restrict the binding scope of an unrestricted general scriptural statement.

This does not dismiss analogy in every legal question; it identifies the relative weight assigned to general wording and an analogical argument when they conflict.
