The Types Of Al-maani’

1 – Maani’ Al-Hukm (The preventer of the ruling):

This is what the Shaari’ (Legislator) has made as a result of its presence, the absence of the Hukm (i.e. if the Maani’ is present the Hukm is absent).

Example:

This is like the intentional or deliberate killing being a Maani’ (preventer) of inheritance. It is therefore the opposite of the Sabab which the Shaari’ (Legislator) has made as a result of its existence the existence or presence of the Hukm.

So Al-Quraabah (relation) is the Sabab for inheritance and the intentional killing is the Maani’ of inheritance. The Sabab is therefore the opposite of the Maani’.

2 – Maani’ Lis-Sabab (The preventer of the Sabab):

This is what the Shaari’ (legislator) has made as a result of its presence the absence of the Sabab (i.e. if the Maani’ exists the Sabab does not exist).

Example:

The passing of a year over the Nisaab makes the Zakaah obligatory.

The passing of a year over the Nisaab with the presence of a debt that reduces the Nisaab.

The debt is therefore a Maani’ for the Sabab which is the Nisaab and as a result it is also a Maani’ for the Hukm (itself). That is because the Sabab brings about the ruling (Al-Hukm) as a result of its presence and by its absence the Hukm is also absent.
