to the well-known river, and when he uses it indefinitely, it becomes general, so it includes everything that is called 'furat' (fresh), and every fresh thing is 'furat'. Allah the Almighty says: {And We gave you water to drink that is fresh} (123). And He says: {And the two seas are not alike; this is fresh, sweet to drink, and this is salty and bitter} (124). Whenever he intends with his oath (125) the other possibility, it is directed to it, and that is accepted from him; because it is plausible, and his intention is not far-fetched.

Section: If he swears, "I will not insult him, and I will not speak to him in the mosque," and he does that (126) in the mosque while the person against whom the oath is made is elsewhere, he is in breach. If he does it (127) outside the mosque while the person against whom the oath is made is in the mosque, he is not in breach.

If he swears, "I will certainly kill him on Friday," and he wounds him on Thursday, and he dies on Friday. Al-Qadi said: He is not in breach. If he wounds him on Friday and he dies on Saturday, he said: He is in breach; because he is not considered 'killed' until he dies, so his day of death is considered, not the day of his striking. It is also valid that the ruling be the opposite in the two matters, so the day of his wounding is considered, not the day of his death; because killing is the action of the killer, and for this reason, giving the command for it and prohibiting it is valid. Allah the Almighty says: {So kill
