  1. IJMA (Consensus Of Opinion)

  2. Ijma • 3rd proof of Shariah after the Quran and the Sunnah • It is basically a rational proof • An Ijtihad or an Interpretation of one or a few scholars when becomes universal, becomes Ijma. 

  3. Classical definition of Ijma • Universal consensus of the scholars of the Muslim community as a whole can be regarded as conclusive Ijma • Universal Ijma are indeed very few • The only form of Ijma upheld by majority is the Ijma of Sahabis only.

  4. Ijma ensures correct interpretation as broad consensus is unlikely to take place on incorrect matter • A number of Ulama (including Shafii and Mutazila scholars) have said that Ijma of classical definition is not feasible because of the huge number of the Ummah or its scholars or distances

  5. Old style Ijma is no longer possible • One can have only local Ijma, which is useful in lawmaking through Parliament but they can not be (by definition) binding forever • Majority opines Ijma must be founded in a Textual authority (Quran & Sunnah) or Ijtihad

  6. M. Iqbal gives a proposal to transfer performance of Ijma to the legislative assembly, which is only possible form of Ijma in modern times • Such Ijma can not be of universal validity nor can it be considered binding (unless made into a local law - which then remains valid until revoked).

  7. Ijma can be of limited use only in future • Qiyas, Istihsan, Maslaha are more important in future.
