Abstract

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his companions. This research addresses the concepts of "The Specific General" and "The General Intended to be Specific," defining them, differentiating between them, and exploring the jurisprudential applications related to them. The research includes an introduction that discusses the importance of the topic, the reasons for choosing it, the research problem, objectives, and methodology. The research is structured into two main sections, each containing specific subsections. The first section provides definitions of "The Specific General" and "The General Intended to be Specific," explaining the differences between them across three subsections. The second section focuses on the jurisprudential applications of both concepts, which are covered in two subsections. The conclusion summarizes the key findings and recommendations of the research, including the following: 1. The Specific General: This refers to a general statement that is limited to some of its constituents or excludes some of what the text originally encompasses and The General Intended to be Specific: This refers to a general term used with the intention of applying to only some of what it theoretically covers, meaning that the term is used for its meaning but with certain exclusions. 2. There has been confusion among some scholars of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence and students of knowledge regarding the distinction between "The Specific General" and "The General Intended to be Specific." The research explores these differences in detail. 3. "The Specific General" has widespread applications in Islamic rulings derived from the Qur'an and Sunnah. As mentioned, it is rare to find a general ruling that is not subject to some form of specification. Numerous jurisprudential applications are clarified in the sections on acts of worship and transactions. The research aims to demonstrate the connection between specific jurisprudential issues and their related principles of Islamic jurisprudence. Additionally, it highlights "The General Intended to be Specific" and its related jurisprudential branches. Recommendations: The research advises scholars to study the principles of jurisprudence concerning general and specific terms from different angles, as they are crucial for interpreting texts and highly beneficial.
