Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question 6 from Fatwa No. (9636)
Q 6: Among the sources of the Shari'ah in our pure, noble Islamic religion, after the Noble Qur'an and the purified Prophetic Sunnah, is scholarly consensus (ijma'). Are the decisions of the Islamic Fiqh Council in Makkah al-Mukarramah equivalent to the consensus of Muslim scholars?
J 6: All praise is due to Allah alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions. And after that: It is not considered scholarly consensus (ijma'), and the same applies to similar gatherings. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
