Ijma And Tawatur In The Context Of Wuzu And Acts Which Nullify It
How can you say that the chances are nominal. It seems like a strong possibility to me
If anything it seems that they would be the opposite of nominal
No body accepted a change in Quran because ijma of ilm always stood with one Qirat to disprove other Qirats. This is the magic of Ijma, the same is true for Sunnah as well.
But sir you yourself just said they accepted the change. They accepted the qiraat. It was only later that it was disproved and still only the Farahi school to my knowledge accepts there to be one Quran
Which scholars of fiqh are you talking about? All the scholars whether it be Shafii, Ibn-e-abdul bar, Shatbi, Shah wali ullah and others, they clearly distinguish Sunnah in two parts, one that is transmitted through ijma and tawatur and second which is transmitted through ahaad. There is consensus that the former is as equally a part of religion as is Quran and denying it would bring into question one’s belief. The only debate is on the latter part, how to perceive it, what is its nature and where to place it in the whole framework of religion and this debate is an ongoing one but doesn’t affect an iota of the former part of Sunnah as agreed by everyone.
The available evidence shows the Islamic state crushing all opposing ideas and shows them relying on ahadeeth to gather the sunnah. So I think you need to increase the chances a bit 😅
