Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the principle "When a piece of evidence is subject to ambiguity, it cannot be used as proof" a general rule, or does it apply only in specific cases?
Answer:
Okay. The principle is: when a piece of evidence is subject to ambiguity. If it is subject to ambiguity in this sense, because one might say there is ambiguity in it when there is none, but if there is actual ambiguity, then this is correct, because something that is ambiguous is not suitable for use as proof. However, if the alleged ambiguity is baseless and not valid, then no, as they say, "there is ambiguity in it" when there is no ambiguity. Yes.
