Explanation of the author's statement: "… to other such necessary implications and requirements that vary according to differences in addition, circumstances, and conditions"

The Shaykh : He says "And such a word to other such necessary implications and requirements that vary according to differences in addition, circumstances, and conditions. And such a word that agrees in its original meaning but differs in its implication and ruling according to differences in additions and circumstances is called by some people *mushakkak* to create doubt in the listener: is it of the category of the *mushtarak* or of the category of the *mutawati'*", is that right, Ahmad? We are now dealing with words, right?

The Shaykh : And what is…

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, but for the sake of classification, for example, there is the *mushtarak* and the *mutawati'*. If the word and its meaning agree, it is *mutawati'*. If the meaning is multiple and the word is one, it is *mushtarak*, because the two meanings share one word. As for what agrees in word and meaning, it is called *mutawati'* because the word and the meaning coincide, with one not exceeding the other; one does not exceed the other, one does not exceed the other.
Okay, let us look now. He says: "Is it of the category of the *mushtarak* where the word is the same but the meaning differs?" What is an example of a *mushtarak*? For example, the word *ayn* (eye). It is a word, but its meaning is shared among multiple meanings. *Ayn* refers to the human eye with which one sees, and it refers to the spring gushing from the ground , and it refers to gold. It refers to gold, which is why it is said: *ayn mawrudah* (uncoined gold) and *ayn munqudah* (coined gold). Yes. So, for example, if a man is a man of substance, the addressee asks: are they *ayn munqudah* or *ayn mawrudah*? Meaning, does he have gold or does he have orchards? Yes?
So, *ayn* is a word shared among multiple meanings. These words, like *mu'iyah* (companionship), which has different meanings according to different conditions—do we say it is of the category of *mushtarak*? Yes. And we say, for example, that *mu'iyah* implies support and backing, and it implies threat, and it implies encompassing. Three meanings for one word. Is it, on this basis, of the category of *mushtarak*? Look, the author says that some scholars call it *mushakkak*. Do we say *mushtarak* or do we say *mutawati'*? What do we call it? *Mushakkak*. And thus, words are *mutawati'*, *mushtarak*, and *mushakkak*.
He says: "Is it of the category of the *mushtarak* where the word is the same but the meaning differs due to the difference in its implication and ruling, or of the category of the *mutawati'* where the word and its meaning are the same due to the original meaning"? So, if we look at *mu'iyah*, what is its original meaning? What is its original meaning? Accompaniment and being alongside. This is the original meaning. But it differs according to the additions. If we look at the original meaning, we say it is of the category of *mutawati'*, because all these meanings agree in one original meaning. So it is of the category of *mutawati'*. And if we look at the fact that its meanings differ according to the circumstances and additions, we say it is of the category of *mushtarak*, because the meaning of His saying, Exalted is He, is not like the meaning of His saying , is it? There is a great difference between the two instances of *mu'iyah*. Some scholars see that because this is *mushakkak*—whether it is from the words that are *mushtarak* or from the words that are *mutawati'*—they called it *mushtarak*. The author said

The Shaykh : *mushakkak*, not those who speak about rhetoric and what is related to it.
