الانفراد

الانفراد

Infirad is lexically the reflexive of tafarrud, to stand alone, and the jurists use it in that sense. ¹ It arises in several places. Where equal guardians of a woman dispute who shall marry her, the Shafi'is and Hanbalis draw lots, the Malikis leave it to the judge, and the Hanafis allow each to marry her. ¹²³ Two agents may act alone when the principal gives that power to each, and the Hanafis allow one to act alone in matters that need no joint judgement, such as litigation. ⁴ In a partnership of trade on general terms, each partner may act alone by agreement of the jurists. ⁵ Where a testator names two executors together, the majority hold that neither may act alone unless he allows it. ⁵⁶
