Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: We read a fatwa from a group of scholars in this country regarding the prohibition of hire purchase ending in ownership, and you are among them, Honorable Shaykh. Is this called consensus? And what is the valid consensus in our time?
Answer:
This is what is called consensus. Consensus is the consensus of all the scholars of the Ummah, the consensus of all the scholars of the era. That is the consensus. As for when some scholars or many scholars say it, it is said: So-and-so scholars said it, the scholars of so-and-so country, or so-and-so scientific bodies, or so-and-so fiqh council, regarding a specific issue.
