The Difference Between Majaz and Ta'wil Among the Later Scholars and the Ruling on Diverting a Word from Its Apparent Meaning

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The definition of majaz according to those who accept it is using a word for something other than what it was established for in the language of communication, due to a connection between the literal meaning and the figurative meaning, accompanied by an indicator that prevents intending the literal meaning. As for what was mentioned at the beginning of the lesson, that is the definition of ta'wil (figurative interpretation) in the terminology of the later scholars. So how do you reconcile these two, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
They are similar, and it is all diverting a word; it is all diverting a word. Ta'wil and majaz are both diverting a word from its apparent meaning. If it is diverted from its apparent meaning by valid evidence, there is no harm; this is tafsir (exegesis). If it is not based on evidence, it is batil (invalid), and this is the condemned majaz. They have no evidence, they have no evidence for what they say. Yes.
