ikhtilaaf(m): in opposition, difference

Description of ikhtilaaf: Ikhtilaaf is an Arabic-derived Urdu word meaning disagreement, difference of opinion, variance, or discord, often carrying connotations of opposition or dissension in intellectual, social, or religious contexts. Unlike outright conflict or enmity, it implies a legitimate divergence allowable within bounds, particularly in Islamic jurisprudence where scholarly ikhtilaaf on non-consensus issues like fiqh rulings is tolerated and even valued as evidence of interpretive flexibility. Differs from khilaaf, which denotes illegitimate strife
