Consensus and Its Proof-Value

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:15.460
Scholarly consensus (*ijma'* ) is a binding legal proof.

00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:22.460
It refers to the consensus of Muslim scholars in any era following the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:25.460
on any matter of religion.

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:27.460
Its ultimate foundation and strongest confirmation is

00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:30.460
the consensus of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).

00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:34.460
Indeed, the vast majority of religious issues among Muslims are agreed upon by consensus,

00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:37.460
yet it is the points of disagreement that tend to become famous.
