Imamu Malik bin Anas (rh) peke yake ndiye aliyeshikilia maoni haya, na alichukua Ijmaa' ya watu wa Madina kuwa hoja kwa kila hukumu isiyopatikana katika Kitabu na Sunnah.

– 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.

Kwa upande wa wafuasi wa Maalik waliokuja baada yake, walikubaliana kwamba Ijmaa' ya Ahl ul-Madinah ni Hujjah (dalili).

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

kwa mambo ambayo hayajulikani isipokuwa kwa njia ya Tawqeef kutoka kwa Mtume ﷺ. Ama mambo ambayo kuna nafasi ya maoni, basi wamehitilafiana kuhusu hilo. Ambapo wengi wao wamesema kuwa Ijmaa' ya Ahl ul-Madinah si Hujjah.

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.
