According to Ḥanafī scholars, this refers to what is similar to restricted and unrestricted duties. Sometimes, it refers to what is unknown as to whether its time range is equal to the time of its performance or longer. For example, the hajj can only be performed once in any year. In this respect, it is a restricted obligation. However, it is required once in a lifetime. In this respect, it is unrestricted.
