The Role of Specific Brief in Cleaving the General Revisited

Cleaving to the general in cases where specific reasoning is brief is regarded among the most important issues Osuli scholars have raised. The popular method for encountering this phenomenon is that several countenances for this issue are proposed and then all of these countenances are studied. This paper discussed the theory that before investigating the mentioned countenances, some fundamental principles should be examined, as confirming some principles in Osul science causes that cleaving to the general in all countenances is allowed unconditionally, while some others are not and the difference in the raised countenances is merely meaningful due to some basic principles. Therefore, the current method for investigating this issue seems not to be correct and demands a drastic revision.
