– Imaam Al-Maalik Bin Anas (rh) was alone in holding this opinion and he took the Ijmaa’ of Ahl-ul-Madinah for every Hukm not found in the Kitaab and the Sunnah.

– As for the followers of Maalik who came after him then they agreed that the Ijmaa’ of Ahl ul-Madinah represents a Hujjah (proof)

in the matters that are not known except by way of Tawqeef from the Messenger (saw). As for the matters in which there is room for opinion then they differed in respect to that. That is whilst the majority have said that the Ijmaa’ of Ahl ulMadinah does not represent a Hujjah.
