Statement Attributed to Shahrur
Witness text: “He maintains that abrogation does not occur within a single message in verses of legal rulings, but rather between the heavenly messages; he therefore rejects the abrogation of the bequest by the verses of inheritance.”
The witness attributes to Shahrur the view that abrogation in verses of legal rulings does not take place within a single message, but rather between the heavenly messages. On this same basis, he rejects the abrogation of the bequest by the verses of inheritance.
Limits of the Inference
This witness does not establish the details of how abrogation occurs between the messages, nor does it establish the ordering of the bequest and debt within the estate as a whole. These are matters that require independent witnesses.
