The Influence of the Open Expression and Its Metonymy in the Religious Judgment

This thesis is prepared as requirement for the Ma. Degree from the Religion College at An-Najah National University- Religion and Islamic philology Department. The thesis is entitled: "The influence of the Open Expression and its metonymy in the Religious Judgment". This thesis consists of four chapters, through which I try to explain the different types of expressions and words, and to clarify that they may be used through various methods according to their use and indications upon the meant meaning. Words and expressions, are divided into direct open words, and hidden words. Each of these has its components, like the truth, the hidden meaning, and every one of these is divided into open or metonymy. In this thesis I'm trying to show the effect of these words and expressions, the judgment upon those who use them, either in practice or in words and their effect on one's behavior, especially in different acts as contracting, crediting, preparing the Will or granting a present, a guarantee or warrant, marriage, divorce or appointment for the seat of a judge. All these are studied in the light of the Islamic philology and the effects of these words and expressions on every specified case.
