The ruling on one who deems forbidden things permissible that are unanimously agreed upon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the one who deems intoxicants permissible is a disbeliever. So, are those who deem permissible the forbidden things that the scholars have unanimously agreed are forbidden in this era, such as the Committee of Senior Scholars, considered disbelievers?
Answer:
Ijma' (scholarly consensus) is the consensus of the Ummah (the Muslim community). If the scholars of the Ummah agree, that is the ijma'. As for the agreement of some of them, that is not called ijma'. The intended ijma' is the agreement of all the scholars of the era on a specific issue. Yes.
