Which of the following is generally NOT considered among the four primary sources of Islamic law agreed upon by the majority of Sunni scholars?

AThe Sunnah
BIjma
CThe Quran
DUrf

Explanation

– Urf, referring to local custom, is generally NOT considered among the four primary sources of Islamic law agreed upon by the majority of Sunni scholars, instead functioning as a secondary, supplementary source.
– The four primary sources widely recognized are the Quran, the Sunnah, Ijma (scholarly consensus), and Qiyas (analogical reasoning), forming the foundational methodology across the major schools of jurisprudence.
– For exams, remember that while sources like Urf and Istihsan play a supportive role, they generally hold a secondary status compared to these four foundational primary sources.
