المعنى الاصطلاحي

Excluding some connotations of a general text (expression).

الشرح المختصر

"Takhsees" (specification of a general text) is a general word or expression that involves all pertinent individuals, irrespective of connotations that counter such general indications. These connotations constitute a particularizing proof. The intention behind using a general indication is to subsume all pertinent individuals under the ruling, so some individuals are assigned the ruling apart from others. Consequently, these individuals are apparently subsumed in the connotations of the general word or expression, but they are excluded by "takhsees".
