Description

Ijma' - Consensus - is one of the four basic principles of Islamic jurisprudence. This book is a critical study of this doctrine from various angles, and provides a deep understanding and clear analysis of a difficult problem.

Ijma' (Consensus) is one of the four basic principles of Islamic Jurisprudence. It has played a vital social and cultural role in the integration of the Muslim community and in the formation of institutions. Besides its legal and cultural manifestations, this doctrine occupies a fundamental position in the development of Islamic thought itself. The author has critically studied this doctrine from various angles. The book provides a deep understanding and clear analysis of a difficult problem.

The first three chapters are introductory studying the social and political role of Ijma' and its authority. The following chapters present a detailed analysis of its classical theory, its definition, competence, period, jurisdiction, subject-matter and other relevant questions. The last two chapters deal with its comparative study and with the emerging trends in Ijma'.
