إن كان مما يدرك بالاجتهاد كالمعاني والأحكام الجلية والخفية والعموم والخصوص والإعراب وغير ذلك
If it is a matter comprehensible through juristic effort, such as clear and hidden meanings, general and specific implications, grammar, and other things.
الجَلِيَّةِ — clear. An adjective, 'the clear,' describing the rulings. Note it is feminine singular even though 'rulings' is plural — non-human plurals take singular feminine agreement, a regular Arabic quirk. It pairs against 'hidden' next.
