1 In the modern period, Murtaā al-Anārī, a formidable uūlī jurist rejected ujiyyat al-ijmā‘ (consensus as an authoritative proof in legal inference) and refused to place it on a par with the Qur'an, the hadith and ‘aql as a source of juridical certainty. Al- Anārī, some even said, had destroyed the basis of consensus (“aama al-ijmā‘”).
