Explanation of the author's statement: "The second is that both be speculative, either in terms of their indication or in terms of their establishment, in which case one seeks to weigh them against each other and then gives precedence to the stronger position."

The Shaykh :"The second is that both be speculative, either in terms of their indication or in terms of their establishment", either in terms of their indication or in terms of their establishment. What is the difference between indication and establishment? Because a text may be established, but its indication may not be clear or definitive. Or its indication may be definitive, but it is not established; for example, if it comes through weak chains, then its indication is not established, not that it is not established in itself. So, if there is a conflict between two speculative pieces of evidence, say that in that case "one seeks to weigh them against each other and then gives precedence to the stronger position."
