[Wezfyowk]

salaams I have log in problems for the past few days.

could you please tell me what is the difference between khilaf & ikhtilaf. if you can give both laghtan & istilahan

Salam aleikum
As far as i know there is no consensus in how these terms should be defined, but one of my shaykhs said that khilaf is a difference of opinion when one side doesnt have any dalil for their position. Ikhtilaf, on the contrary, is based on dalil. Others say that there are no differences between khilaf and ikhtilaf and that the words can be used as synonyms.

In the book Mu'jam lughat al-fuqaha it says:
الخلاف المنازعة بين المتعارضين ولا يشترط أن تكون هذه المنازعة عن دليل

اختلاف ضد الاتفاق اختلاف الأقوال أو الأفعال الناشئ عن دليل


correct. sorry for not being clear Not you fault, i forgot that you told me that you would look it up. Jazakumu Allahu khayran
