The questioner : Can the substitute be an explanatory apposition?
The Shaykh : They mentioned that every explanatory apposition can serve as a substitute, except in certain cases, and if they are interchangeable, each one can be a substitute for the other.
The student: Shaykh, it is well known on the Day of the Trench.
The Shaykh : But the substitute, you see, is sometimes broader; if it is a substitute for a mistake or an oversight, it cannot be valid as an explanatory apposition.
