What is the ruling when a debtor acknowledges obligation using multiple conjunctions: 'a dirham then a dirham then a dirham' (درهم فدرهم فدرهم) or 'a dirham then a dirham then a dirham' (درهم ثم درهم ثم درهم)?

The ruling is the same as the case using 'waw' (و); three dirhams are incumbent upon the debtor. This is because each successive 'fa' or 'thumma' denotes progression and difference between the preceding amount and the subsequent amount, establishing a sequence of distinct obligations.
