Is interpreting a general acknowledgment of 'dirhams' as 'a deposit' (wadeeah) valid?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Acknowledgment of Rights
Primary text
If one states, 'I owe you dirhams,' the interpretation of that amount being a deposit is not accepted.
Supporting text
Returning to a general possibility causes the confession to be nullified. The possibility suggested is further removed than the possibilities upon which other interpretations were rejected, and therefore, no weight is given to it.
