From Stages of the Seeker

وأما تفسيره للعلماء فجائز حسن والاجماع منعقد عليه فمن كان أهلا للتفسير جامعا للأدوات حتى التي يعرف بها معناه وغلب على ظنه المراد فسره

As for interpretation by scholars, it is permissible and good, and consensus is established on it. Whoever is qualified for interpretation, possessing the necessary tools — including those by which its meaning is known — and the intended meaning is most likely in their view, then they may interpret it.

حَتَّى even

Not 'until' here but 'even / right up to': it stretches 'the tools' to take in even the subtlest ones, named in the relative clause that follows. It pushes the requirement to its furthest edge.

وإن أحد من المشركين استجارك فأجره حتى يسمع كلام الله

And if one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so he may hear the word of Allah.

From Teaching the Quran to Non-Muslims

ويُستحب ألّا يرفعَ اليدَ عن العضو حتى يتمَّ مسحَه، وأن ينزعَ الخاتمَ في الضربة الأولى،

It is recommended not to lift the hand from the limb until its wiping is completed, and to remove the ring in the first strike.

حَتَّى until

This particle 'until' introduces a goal not yet reached, 'until I am...', so the verb after it shifts into the subjunctive. Unlike a result-'until', this one points to an aim, and that forward-looking sense is why it triggers the subjunctive on what follows.

ثم قال لئن أنا حييت حتى آكل تمراتي هذه إنها لحياة طويلة
