How does naskh differ from takhsis?
Zahir, Nass, Mufassar and Muhkam: Degrees of Textual Clarity
- Naskh supersedes a ruling by later revelation; takhsis limits general scope
- Naskh narrows scope and takhsis abrogates the entire ruling
- Both end a ruling over time and never alter scope
- Both concern only shifting the apparent sense
