غیر واضح الفاظ اور تفسیر قرآن

Abstract

Unclear Words (al-Alfaz Ghayr al-Wadihah) are the words which do not by themselves communicate a clear meaning without the help of supplementary evidence that may be delivered by the Lawgiver Himself, or by the mujtahid. Keeping in view the ambiguity of the words, they are classified into four, as Khafi (obscure) and Mushkil (difficult) Mujmal (ambivalent) or Mutashabih (intricate). The article deals with the definition and fundamental issues of these words and reveals how these words play a vital role in the Quranic interpretation.
