Ijma

Ijma, in Islamic tradition, refers to the consensus or agreement of qualified Islamic scholars on a particular legal or religious issue. It serves as a source of Islamic law (Sharia) when the Qur'an and Hadith do not provide clear guidance. Ijma helps ensure that religious rulings remain relevant and unified across different communities, based on scholarly agreement. It reflects collective scholarly reasoning and interpretation, contributing to the development of Islamic jurisprudence and maintaining consistency within the faith.
