Summary of the Thesis
This page holds that the fixed revelation produces fixed judgments, while elaboration remains a field for human ijtihad. Thus the original is preserved, and application changes according to reality.
Foundational Atoms
Position of Support within the Book
This formulation appears in the final section of the book, in his discussion of the fixed and the variable in legislation and the relationship of the Mother of the Book to elaboration.
Limits of the Reading
This summary does not make every elaboration subject to change without constraint; rather, it ties it to what the atoms state about the fixity of the original and the mobility of explanation.
