الإهمال

الإهمال

Ihmal is lexically leaving a thing neglected; the technical sense keeps this meaning. ¹ Neglect in a trust that leads to its loss makes the trustee liable, since a trustee is liable only for excess or neglect. ¹ The neglect of a private hired worker creates liability, and a shared worker is liable by the majority. ¹² The neglect of a skilled practitioner, such as a doctor, circumciser or teacher, makes him liable for what follows, as does a cutter who exceeds his mandate in retaliation or in the hand cut for theft. ² The rule is that speech is to be given effect rather than left void; when neither the literal nor the figurative sense is possible, the speech is left void, as in a claim that a living man has been killed by his heir, or that a child of known lineage is one's son. ²³
