Is a word with multiple meanings interpreted as having both meanings?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is part of the eloquence of the Qur'an that a single word encompasses two meanings, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And by the night as it closes in والليل إذا عسعس
[At-Takwir 81:17]
meaning it faces forward and it faces backward. It was interpreted as facing forward and it was interpreted as facing backward, and the correct view is that it includes both. Yes.
The student: Regarding this question, you said... the ant came out, is that injustice or is it permissible...?

The Shaykh : Yes, here... now, Ghanim, you have an ant that has come out, something today.
The student: I mean, for example, animals?

The Shaykh : Let us bring it, yes, let us answer Muhammad's question.
