    Q1. In Usul al-Fiqh, a text whose meaning admits only one interpretation is called:

    • D) Mutashabih (allegorical text)

    Answer: Nass (explicit text)

    Explanation: In Hanafi Usul al-Fiqh, Nass refers to a text with an explicit, unambiguous meaning that is the primary and definitive purpose of the text, admitting no other interpretation. It is distinguished from Zahir (apparent meaning that could be interpreted differently) and Mujmal (ambiguous text requiring explanation).
