IJMA’ (CONSENSUS) ATOMOLOGY Ijma’ ( )إجماعis an Arabic word derived from an Arabic consonantal root “”ج م ع Which means: (1) Assembly (2) Gathering together (3) To add together (4) Unanimity Tuesday, May 23, 2017 Islamic & Religious Studies Instructor: Prof. Abid Naeem 2 DEFINITION “Ijma’ is a unanimous agreement of Muslim Jurists/ Scholars of the community of a particular age on a certain religious issue which has no clear verdict or more than one possible interpretation in Quran and Sunnah” AUTHENTICITY Ijma’ and Qiyas are secondary sources of Islamic Shariah, yet Ijma’ has superior status than Qiyas and inferior status than Quran and Sunnah/ Hadith Tuesday, May 23, 2017 Islamic & Religious Studies Instructor: Prof. Abid Naeem 3 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.
