What is a specific Fiqh issue, what is the difference between it and a Fiqh maxim, and what is the method for relating the specific issue to its maxim?
The jurisprudential sub-issue is a specific matter that falls under a general principle, which is the jurisprudential maxim. The jurisprudential maxim is a concise general principle that applies to its specific sub-issues, and it includes general rulings for the jurisprudential sub-issues that fall under it. Accordingly, the ruling of the jurisprudential sub-issue is known through the jurisprudential maxim that deals with it. If the legal proof is established on the validity of a specific jurisprudential maxim and its meaning is determined, then the jurist who possesses the tools of deduction can distinguish the jurisprudential sub-issues that fall under it and use it to infer the ruling of these sub-issues.
