The Indication of Generality: Is It a Probable Indication? Does This Apply to the Hadith "Every Image-Maker Is in the Fire"?

The questioner : The indication of generality is a probable indication, so does that apply to the hadith "Every image-maker is in the Fire"?

The Shaykh : The indication of generality, may Allah bless you, regarding generality is a definitive indication, but regarding each individual case, they say it is a probable indication, and that is due to the permissibility of specification. It is possible that this general statement is specified. There is a point of consideration in this statement, and what should be said is that the indication of generality regarding all its individuals is a definitive indication, unless a specifier is found. If a specifier is found, does the indication of the remainder after this specifier become probable? Because it is known through its specification that its generality is not intended. So does its indication remain definitive in the places of specification, or not?
And does it also indicate generality if it is specified, or not? There is a disagreement among the jurists on this, but what should be said is that the indication of generality regarding its individuals is definitive, and if it is specified, its indication regarding what remains stays as it is. And what indicates that the indication is definitive is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the tashahhud: "If you say, 'Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah,' then you have greeted every righteous servant in the heavens and the earth."
