الشرح المختصر :
"Mutlaq" (absolute) is a specific term that originally indicates the reality of something without giving a description, stipulating a condition, etc. The "mutlaq" and the "muqayyad" (restricted) either diverge on the cause and ruling, converge thereon, or diverge on the cause apart from the ruling.
التعريف اللغوي المختصر :
"Mutlaq": freed. Original meaning of "itlāq": releasing, loosening, setting free. Opposite: "muqayyad" (restricted), "mu‘ayyan" (specific). Other meanings: unbound, left, extended.
