    This document discusses how ijma (consensus) and qiyas (analogy) have been used together with hadith in deriving Islamic laws. It provides two examples: 1) After a hadith stating the importance of praying in congregation, scholars reached consensus that Taraweeh prayers in Ramadan should be offered congregationally. 2) Based on a hadith about funeral prayers for miscarried fetuses showing movement, scholars later decided via consensus that no funeral prayer is needed if no movement or heartbeat was observed. It also discusses how qiyas was used, such as punishing those drunk in the same way as prescribed for wine consumption, and allowing Hajj to be performed on behalf of deceased fathers by

    Q.

    Give two specific examples how Ijma (consensus) and Qiyas (analogy) have been used together
    with hadith in working out the Islamic laws?

    Ans: The Ahadith and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬also help in making Islamic laws through Ijma and
    Qiyas. However, it must be remembered that while formulating the laws, only the genuine and
    authentic Ahadith must be selected. There are many Ahadith pertaining to ljma. Regarding the
    congregational prayers, the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

    "It is necessary for you to hold on fast to the Jama't and save yourself from separating (from the
    Jama't). Surely, Shaitan is with the single person, and he remains far from two. So whosoever desires
    Jannah, must remain with the Jama't..." (Tirmizi)

    Thus, after the consensus of the Companions, the 20 Rak'aat of Taraweeh (Salah that is regularly prayed
    in Ramadan, after the Isha prayers) is always offered in congregation.

    Another example of how the Sunnah has been employed with Ijma is that according to the instruction of
    the Holy Prophet ‫ﷺ‬, the funeral prayer of a miscarried fetus should be offered, in case, life had been
    sensed in it through its movements. Later, after a consensus, it was decided by the scholars, that before
    the miscarriage, if no movement or heart beat had been observed in the fetus, it should just be wrapped
    in a coffin and buried, without any funeral prayer.

    Whenever faced with a new challenge, the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬has also been exercised while
    doing Qiyas. Its example is that, on the instruction of the Holy Prophet ‫ﷺ‬, a man was beaten with a
    leather slipper and palm stalk, as a punishment for consuming wine. On the basis of analogical
    deduction, the Muslim scholars gave a ruling that a person who was drunk should be flogged 40 times
    with a leather strap. Later, Hazrat Umar ‫ رضی ہللا عنہ‬was advised by Hazrat Ali ‫ رضی ہللا عنہ‬to set the
    punishment as 80 lashes since an intoxicated person may slander a chaste woman, and the Qur'an
    prescribes 80 lashes for a slanderer.

    The Sunnah provides many evidences where the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬himself resorted to analogical reasoning
    (Qiyas), on occasions when he did not receive a revelation on a particular matter. On one such occasion,
    a woman came to him and said that her father had died without performing the Hajj.

    Would it benefit him if she performed the Hajj on his behalf? The Prophet asked her:

    "Supposing your father had a debt to pay and you paid it on his behalf, would this benefit him? To
    this, her reply was in the affirmative; and the Prophet () said, The debt owed to Allah merits even
    greater consideration."

    Thus, by doing Qiyas between Hajj and the debt, the Holy Prophet showed the woman, in particular, and
    the whole Muslim Ummah, in general, how to do Qiyas. (Shawkani)
