3-His nickname: Karmasti in relation to the city of Karmasta in which he lived, an Ottoman town

4-The sources did not mention two things: the first: the year of his birth, while the year of his death was mentioned. The second: The sources did not mention his students, even though he is a scholar and studied in schools, so how can he not have students

6-He has many works on jurisprudence, principles of jurisprudence, creed, and rhetoric, some of which I have mentioned

7-The imam had a scientific and prestigious position at the time

8-Through research, and studying his choices, I did not find that the imam has violated his doctrine in all the issues he chose, so he is imitating his doctrine in most issues

9-Imam Karmasti, may God have mercy on him, was known, and he said: (The word is used in other than what is specified for it in the terminology of communication in the relationship, and the presumption that prevents it. It was created for it). Imam Karmasti, may God have mercy on him, distinguished himself by his metaphorical definition to identify scholars from his sect and other sects. He mentioned the word: (the presumption). He agreed with Imam al-Shawkani, may God have mercy on him, in his definition of metaphor by adding the term (pregnancy) to the definition. Likewise, it mentions (for relationship), because if it wasn't for the relationship, it wouldn't be a metaphor. But it was a new situation

- 10-Imam Karmasti (may God have mercy on him) confined himself to two emirates that are not suitable for distinguishing truth from metaphor in his view, and considered them to be two main emirates, namely: regularity, and the opposition of the plural of truth to the plural of metaphor

 12-Imam Karmasti (may God have mercy on him) chose the prohibition in the matter of combining truth and metaphor, and said: What appears in him that he combined them is from the generality of metaphor
