Give an example of Ijma based on the Quran
The Quran states that it is impermissible to marry one’s mothers or daughters: “Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: Your mothers, daughters…”. As the verse mentions the terms mothers and daughters could be clearly understood as one’s mother and stepmothers and one’s daughters and stepdaughters. But the verse does not clearly indicate about marrying grandmothers or granddaughters. For this, the consensus of believers has reached the final decision based on this verse that the terms mothers and daughters also comprise of grandmothers and granddaughters therefore marrying them is also forbidden.
67
Which Hadith of the Prophet gave us a guarantee about Ijma?
"My nation will never unanimously agree in error"
68

"Oh you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those charged with authority among you. if you differ in anything among yourselves then refer it to Allah and His Apostle..."
69
Give an example of Qiyas based on the Quran
The Quran orders us to leave business transactions after the Adhaan of Juma, as if we continue we will be late for prayer: "Oh you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the prayer on the day of Friday, come to the remembrance of Allah and leave off business". So through Qiyas we can say that after the Adhaan of Friday, all worldly activities are Haram for us.
