He confirms the use of a thing who removes the abuse of it.

Explanation

(English-origin maxim.) Correcting an abuse of a right is not an attack on the right itself — removing the misuse strengthens and confirms the lawful use.

Where this applies

• A city cracks down on vendors who are blocking sidewalks but does not ban street vending entirely — removing the abuse confirms the legitimacy of lawful vending.
• A school bans students from using phones during class but allows them during breaks, thereby confirming that phone use itself is acceptable when the misuse is addressed.
• A government regulates the discharge of pollutants into a river but does not ban industrial use of the river — correcting the abuse confirms the proper use.
