Question:
He says: Shaykh, how many are the sources of Islamic legislation? And are they ranked?

Answer:
The sources of Islamic legislation are the Book, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus (ijma'). These are the sources of Islamic legislation: the Book, which is the Qur'an; the Prophetic Sunnah, which are the authentic hadiths; and the consensus of the scholars on that.
