Ijma’ and Qiyas are secondary sources of
Islamic Shariah, yet Ijma’ has superior status
than Qiyas and inferior status than Quran and
Sunnah/ Hadith

An Important Point:
Ijma’ in its spirit is like democratic principle
which says that all decisions are to be made on
the basis of “Majority”
Therefore, a perfect Ijma’ is possible but
difficult to achieve because of the divergence
in religious views.
Thus Ijma’ does not mean that there are no
different views after conducting Ijma’ but that
agreement exists among a great majority of
Muslims.
