Does this clause require an article or not?

Question

I am confused about whether to add an article before clarification or not?

1. "I asked for clarification on the legal position"

Or

2. "I asked for a clarification on the legal position"

Answer 1

I asked for clarification on the legal position.

I asked for a clarification on the legal position.

I think both are correct and mean the same thing.

Clarification is both countable and uncountable.

Here is a link which shows how clarification can be used with or without an article:
