Hizi ni Alfaazh ambazo katika Dalaalah (dalili ya maana ya maneno), kwa kuzingatia maana yake, zimefichika au si wazi, hivyo hazielekezi moja kwa moja kwa kile kinachokusudiwa kwayo, bali hutegemea jambo la nje. Kuna viwango vinne kuhusiana na ukosefu huu wa uwazi.

These are the Alfaazh which in their Dalaalah (textual implication/indication), in respect to their meaning, is hidden or obscure and so they do not guide to what is intended from them but rather rest upon an external matter. There are four levels in respect to this lack of clarity:

1 – Al-Khafiy na huu ndio ulio dhahiri kidogo kuliko yote (au uliofichika kidogo).

1 – Al-Khafiy and this is the least hidden (or obscure).

2 – Al-Mushkil, na ni chini ya wazi zaidi kuliko Al-Khafiy.

2 – Al-Mushkil and it is less clear than the Khafiy.

3 – Al-Mujmal, na hii ni isiyo wazi zaidi kuliko Al-Mushkil.

3 – Al-Mujmal and this is less clear than the Mushkil.

4 – Al-Mutashaabih, na hili ndilo lililofichika zaidi na lisilo wazi kabisa kati ya aina tatu zilizotajwa hapo awali.

4 – Al-Mutashaabih and this is very hidden and the least clear from the three previously mentioned types.
