The Glorious Quran, the Holy “Sunna”, the Islamic consensus, and wisdom are the major sources of “Al-fiqh”. Based on these four valid sources, a “faqih” (an expert in fiqh) can pronounce the minor laws. During the eleventh century (A.H.) a group of scholars, called “Akhbariyin” was formed.
They disapproved the consensus and wisdom and believed in the Glorious Qur’an and the Holy “Sunna”. But the experts and scholars in ‘Usul disagreed with this group. They proved the validity of the four major sources. They also believed that the Holy °Sunna” should be generalized to both Our Holy Prophet and Holy Imams.
