True!

But consensus of opinion does mean Ijma. Our parliament is, by no means a Shura, but the fact remains Ijma is done by Mujtahids. Do the members of Parliament (shura) possess such qualities as required for consensus of opinion? Moreover, Ijma is done once and when no contradiction takes place according to whatever schools of thought, but here we see continuous remaking of laws until they best fit their personal interests. Moreover, Fatwa emanating from Ijma must be world-known or well-known, but the decisions of Pakistani parliament are neither world-known nor well-known. We don't find even a single member who has similar qualities as of a Mujtahid even the interior minister does not know how to recite Surah e Ikhlas.
