## I. Controlling interpretation preserved by this reissue

The 1786 hiba is unilateral, permanent, vertical, and non-invertible. Mālikī law governs its unilateral sovereign-grant character. Grant law and trust law independently govern the trust and fiduciary consequences. The analysis is cumulative; it does not harmonize one legal tradition into another or redefine Mālikī doctrine through a Western category.

Under grant law and trust law, the elements of a trust are present: the Emperor is the settlor; the United States is the trustee; Moors, subjects of the Empire of Morocco, are the primary beneficiaries; United States citizens are the derivative beneficiaries; and all twenty-five chapters are the corpus. The primary class holds the original equitable interest and priority. The derivative class takes through the trustee’s administration, and neither that derivative interest nor administrative practice can invert the primary class’s priority. The hiba is therefore an actual trust carrying fiduciary duties. The word “trust” need not appear in the instrument, and neither side needs to know or use that characterization. The conclusion follows from the elements present.

The sentence **“No trust cognizable in a court of equity is asserted or required.”** remains verbatim. It preserves venue; it does not deny trust formation or fiduciary duties. The trust characterization neither invokes chancery jurisdiction or equitable discretion nor substitutes equitable discretion for the grant’s own machinery. It does not move or switch venue outside the office corridor of Articles 20–22, and no assisting office or court acquires adjudication, venue, or ownership.

Bilateral treaty-performance analysis remains cumulative and preserves the bilateral form’s floor of obligation. Bilateral form does not convert the hiba into a bilateral bargain. Chapter 20’s assistance clause remains valid and non-repugnant; Chapter 21 assistance extends to qadi decisions, orders, and judgments. Assistance moves the office corridor but never acquires adjudication, venue, or ownership.

## II. E-ND-18 — declaration corrections and conformances

### 1. Administrative recital and supersession chain

The declaration edition identifier advances to 2026-11-03b. The administrative recital supersedes edition 2026-11-03, discloses E-ND-18 as the ninth issuance, and carries forward E-ND-17 through E-ND-1, including the E-ND-13 issuance and withdrawal as to the public template. The venue-preservation sentence appears twice in the canonical plain text: once in that administrative recital and once as the operative Section IV.A clause. The canonical file retains 166 lines.

### 2. Primary-beneficiary terminology for the affiant

The ordinary class label for the affiant is now **primary beneficiary**, without the adjective “honorary.” The two affiant and class-definition loci formerly reading “honorary primary-beneficiary class” now read “primary-beneficiary class.” Affiant-specific provisions now state expressly that the affiant “is a primary beneficiary,” that the affiant’s “status as a primary beneficiary” is independent of and superior to any United States domestic classification, that no colorable jurisdiction may be imposed “on a primary beneficiary,” and that the remedy is voidable at the “election of the primary beneficiary.” Section IV.A likewise states “The primary beneficiary’s remedy of record,” and the solemn declaration refers to the affiant’s status “as a primary beneficiary.”

This is a terminology conformance, not a change to the two-class doctrine. Generic “beneficiary” wording remains where a passage addresses both classes or defines the technical term *mawhūb lahu* as “donee/beneficiary.” The word “honorary” remains in the distinct honorary-debt doctrine. No global substitution has altered those retained uses.

### 3. Execution-capacity line relocated and conformed

The capacity field has been removed from the top of page one. It now appears immediately beneath the second execution sign-off—the “also known as” line—and before `Office/Title`. The field retains its existing numbered-field identifier, `(2)`, and reads:

> PRIMARY BENEFICIARY: ____________________________ (2)  — Moorish Subject of the Empire of Morocco

The placement makes the signatory’s primary-beneficiary capacity express at the execution sign-off. The change is coordinated identically in the canonical plain text, Office Open XML document, print Portable Document Format, and public Hypertext Markup Language reproduction.

### 4. Venue, assistance, and source attributions carried forward

Section IV.A retains the court-of-equity sentence as venue preservation, disclaims chancery jurisdiction and equitable discretion as venue-shifting devices, preserves the grant’s own remedy machinery, and states the Chapter 20–21 assistance rule without transferring adjudication, venue, or ownership. Both Chapter 21 recensions retain بالشرع; فوق النقص والزيادة remains attributed to 1786; لا زيادة ولا نقصان and المجرم remain attributed to 1836. Neither recension is represented as reading بالقانون الشرعي. Hurgronje’s rendering remains an English “redaction” and a witness to his reading; “[Mohammedan]” remains his bracketed gloss, not an additional Arabic word.

## III. E-INS-5 — instructions correction and office-corridor action

### 1. Dated instructions successors

The instructions plain-text edition advances from 2026-08-26 to 2026-11-03, and the two-page instructions print file advances to `NATIONALITY-INSTRUCTIONS-2026-11-03.pdf`. A plain-text successor is required because the instruments page publicly serves the instructions in both plain text and Portable Document Format. The former instructions files remain frozen under their recorded hashes.

### 2. Protective lines of record on page two

The former page-two passage described the trust and beneficiary doctrine as an “analytical model” and did not state the required Chapter 21 Domestic Tribunal action. The successor removes that inadequate formulation. It now states that Section IV declares an actual trust with fiduciary duties; identifies the primary and derivative classes; preserves the primary class’s original equitable interest, priority, and non-invertibility; and directs use of “primary beneficiary” for the affiant, including the relocated execution-capacity line.

The replacement passage also states the action of record: when its jurisdiction applies, the executed declaration is to be presented in the Chapter 21 Domestic Tribunal, with judgment demanded by the Sacred Law, without increase or decrease, in the presence of the office. It requires Chapter 20 assistance for consular decisions, orders, and judgments and Chapter 21 assistance for qadi decisions, orders, and judgments. Assistance moves the office corridor but never acquires adjudication, venue, or ownership. Article 20 consular decisions, Chapter 21 Domestic Tribunal adjudication, and Article 22 hereditary-estate custody remain the Articles 20–22 office corridor.

### 3. Venue-preservation sentence retained in the instructions

The instructions quote Section IV.A verbatim: **“No trust cognizable in a court of equity is asserted or required.”** The instructions expressly explain that this sentence preserves venue; it does not deny trust formation or fiduciary duties, invoke chancery or equitable discretion, or move venue outside Articles 20–22. No public-facing errata note, publisher’s note, or editor’s note has been added to the instrument or instructions. The correction is disclosed here and through the dated exhibit-label references in the public registers.

## IV. QP-4 — examination retained byte-identical

QP-4 was audited against the terminology and placement changes. It contains none of the superseded affiant-specific formulations targeted by E-ND-18. No question, answer option, or capstone depends on the instructions-block revision or the capacity-label relocation. QP-4 therefore remains byte-identical, with its established SHA-256 digest unchanged. Its cover and the E-ND-17 certificate continue to preserve the historical E-ND-17/QP-4 coordination accurately; no administrative reissue of the examination is warranted.

The instructor Answer Key was unavailable to this production, remains withheld of record, and has not been recreated, altered, conformed, or described as conformed. No public Answer Key is issued or altered by E-ND-18 or E-INS-5.

## V. Preservation and limits of the correction

Declaration edition 2026-11-03, instructions edition 2026-08-26, the E-ND-17 certificate, examination paper QP-4, and all earlier dated materials remain frozen of record. The author’s executed declaration and commission, all other executed counterparts, and unrelated protected instruments are outside this reissue and have not been altered. The eleven document-of-record facsimile objects remain outside batch-a and are preserved in the unchanged facsimile batches.

The Spanish and French courtesy instruction files remain unchanged comprehension aids. They are not represented as conformed by E-INS-5; the English instructions text of record alone controls. No hosted website-preview version was created, no account was accessed, and no single-page application fallback configuration was changed.

This certificate does not assert that the Arabic instrument expressly uses the word “trust.” It does not assert that the 1952 International Court of Justice judgment decided the hiba characterization, trust formation, fiduciary duties, or repugnancy questions; those questions remain outside that judgment’s holding. It does not assert Platinum Freeze Certification, GATE 2 advancement, production deployment, or any other user-controlled certification or phase advancement.

## VI. Conformance and document verification

1. **Canonical plain text and public reproduction.** The superseded and successor declaration plain-text files each contain 166 lines. The exact court-of-equity sentence occurs twice in the canonical plain text. The public instrument contains one `PRIMARY BENEFICIARY:` field, located after the second execution sign-off and before `Office/Title`; the former top-of-page capacity field and the phrase “honorary primary” are absent. The public declaration and registers carry the new edition identifiers and plain-text digests.
2. **Office Open XML document.** Baseline-scoped semantic comparison passed. Standalone Office Open Extensible Markup Language and XML Schema Definition validation passed for all nineteen document parts. One non-blocking warning concerns five pre-existing literal-bullet paragraphs. Nine editor-only paragraph identifiers were removed from headers and footers without changing their text or intentional formatting. The substantive differential contains only the intended terminology edits and capacity relocation.
3. **Independent Word visual preview.** The designated preview rendered twenty-nine pages and reported no near-blank or clipped page. Its pagination differs from the thirteen-page print file because the renderers paginate differently. The preview returned a “lossy” fidelity classification for unsupported layout and metadata features; its sole content-loss count was expressly suppressed as separator-only endnotes with “no real notes,” not instrument text. The contact sheet and the execution pages were reviewed, and the relocated capacity line is legible in the required order.
4. **Declaration print file.** The Portable Document Format declaration has thirteen letter-size pages. Every page was rendered and inspected; no page warnings, clipping, unexplained text loss, or illegible revised passage was found. The first page and execution pages twelve and thirteen were also reviewed at full size.
5. **Instructions print file.** Both instructions pages were rendered and inspected without page warnings. The replacement page-two passage is complete and legible, and it remains separated from the preparation-guidance note and footer. The former “analytical model” passage is absent.
6. **Merged packet.** The packet has fifteen letter-size pages: the thirteen-page declaration followed by the corrected two-page instructions. Every page was rendered and inspected with no page warnings. Page-by-page comparisons confirm that all fifteen packet pages match their component files exactly in extracted text and rendered raster output.
7. **Public-site and examination coordination.** The instruments page advances the declaration body, downloads, instructions downloads, plain-text digests, and supersession chain. The tribunal page advances the declaration, packet, instructions-edition, digest, and errata registers while preserving the historical E-ND-17/QP-4 coordination. QP-4 remains byte-identical under its established digest.
