Question:
What is the meaning of the saying of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He): (And whoever opposes the Messenger after the clear proof of the guidance has become apparent to him and follows other than the way of the believers)?
Answer:
Answer: The scholars cited this as evidence for the binding nature of scholarly consensus (ijma'): (and follows other than the way of the believers). If the believers agree upon a ruling of the Shari'ah, it is not permissible to oppose them. Consensus is one of the proofs for rulings: first, the Qur'an; second, the Sunnah; third, consensus; and fourth, valid analogical reasoning (qiyas).
