Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II
(A) Ulama — this matches (III) Plural of alim. An alim is ‘one who knows’. The ulama are scholars of Islamic studies, who carry out religious, legal and teaching work.
(B) Shari’a — this matches (IV) Law governing the Muslim Community. The shari’a is the law of the Muslim community, based on the Qur’an and the hadis, the traditions of the Prophet.
(C) Qiyas — this matches (I) Reasoning by analogy. When Islamic rule spread to lands with different customs, new cases were judged by comparing them with similar cases already settled.
(D) Ijma — this matches (II) Consensus of the Community. Ijma is the agreement of the community. Qiyas and ijma became two more sources of law, so the shari’a grew out of the Qur’an, hadis, qiyas and ijma.
