Question Four Major Sources of Fiqh/Law
Hi guys,

what are four major sources of Islamic Law/Fiqh/jurisprudence?

QURAN and Sunnah, and Ijma are undoubtedly accepted but the fourth one is confused, is it QIYAS or IJTIHAD?

Please, if someone can verify it with some reference, as it was a question in 2004 paper. according to this question, it seems ijtihad is fourth one but wikipedia USUL-AL-FIQH show QIyAS is foruth one!

2004 – Describe in detail the four basic sources of Islamic law. Explain ‘Ijma’ and ‘Ijtihad’ specifically.
