Pendukung pendapat ini termasuk Ash-Shaafi'iy dan Al-Hanaabilah. Majoriti Fuqahaa' berkata: Jika atau apabila para Mujtahid kalangan kaum Muslimin telah bersepakat, tanpa mengira perbezaan negeri (lokasi) mereka, tempat asal mereka dan kumpulan mereka, dalam keadaan di mana suatu realiti telah dikemukakan kepada mereka untuk mengetahui Hukum Syar'iy-nya, kemudian setiap daripada mereka memberikan pendapatnya secara jelas mengenai Hukumnya, sama ada melalui Qawl (ucapan) atau Fi'l (perbuatan), sama ada mereka berbuat demikian secara berkumpul bersama atau secara individu, dan kemudian kesemua pendapat mereka itu sepakat atas satu Hukum tunggal berkenaan realiti tersebut, maka ini merupakan suatu Ijmaa'. Hukum yang mereka sepakati itu kemudiannya menjadi Hukum Syar'iy yang Waajib (wajib) untuk diikuti, dan tidak dibenarkan untuk menentangnya, sebagaimana tidak dibenarkan bagi orang lain pada bila-bila masa untuk melanggarinya, kerana ia telah ditetapkan melalui Ijmaa'.

The proponents of this opinion including Ash-Shaafi’iy and AlHanaabilah. The majority of Fuqahaa’ said: If or when the Mujtahideen of the Muslims have agreed irrespective of their different lands (locations), their places of origin and their groupings, in the case where a reality has been presented to them in order to know its Hukm Ash-Shar’iy and then each of them provides his opinion explicitly in respect to its Hukm, by Qawl (speech) or Fi’l (action), whether they did this collectively gathered or as individuals, and then all of their opinions had been in agreement upon a single Hukm in respect to that reality, then this represents an ‘Ijmaa’. This Hukm that they had agreed upon would then represent a Hum Shar’iy that is Waajib (obligatory) to follow and it is not permitted to oppose it just as it is not allowed for others in any time to contravene it because it has been established by Ijmaa’.
