How do we distinguish between the genus, the species, the individual, and the number? How do prohibition and obligation coexist in the number? And how do we distinguish between the species and the number?
The genus,For example: the word "prayer" is a genus that includes both the obligatory and the voluntary. The obligatory is a species of prayer. The midday prayer is an individual instance of the obligatory.Meaning: its two individuals,For example, we say: grain is a genus that includes all grains, such as corn, wheat, barley, lentils, or anything else. Wheat is a species of this genus. Durum wheat is a more specific species, and so on.Meaning: The general thing under which species fall, we call a genus. The species under which individuals fall, we call a species. The distinction is clear; you can identify it with your own eyes.
