What is Ijma and Qiyas in Islamic Law Explained about?

Ijma refers to the consensus of the Islamic scholarly community on a matter where the primary sources are silent. There are three types of Ijma - consensus of the companions, jurists and scholars, and the common people. Qiyas uses analogy and human reasoning to derive rulings for new situations by comparing them to existing Islamic rulings and their underlying reasons. However, some reject the use of Qiyas arguing matters of belief should only be derived from the Quran and hadith.
