The Doctrine of Ijm¿¿ in Islam is a comprehensive academic examination of one of the central sources of Islamic jurisprudence: juristic consensus (ijm¿¿). Written with methodological precision, this work investigates how ijm¿¿ emerged, how it was theorized by classical jurists, and how it functioned as a unifying and authoritative principle within Sunn¿ legal thought. The study situates ijm¿¿ within its Qur¿¿nic and Prophetic framework, examining the textual, rational, and historical arguments advanced for its authority. It explores the role of the Companions, the jurists (mujtahid¿n), and the broader Muslim community in the formation of consensus, while carefully distinguishing between binding, sufficient, and disputed forms of agreement. Key themes include the definition of ijm¿¿, competence and eligibility, temporal conditions, subject-matter limitations, silent consensus, evidentiary value, and the question of abrogation. The author also analyzes internal juristic disagreements, critiques of the classical theory, and comparative perspectives by examining analogous concepts of consensus in other religious traditions. The later chapters address modern scholarly trends, highlighting methodological tensions between continuity and adaptation while remaining grounded in classical legal theory rather than contemporary policy or activism. This volume is an essential resource for students of ü¿l al-fiqh, Islamic legal history, and comparative jurisprudence, as well as for academic libraries seeking authoritative studies of foundational Islamic legal doctrines.
