    Q1. Which of the following is the correct descending order of sources of Islamic law in the Hanafi school?

    • A) Sunnah → Quran → Ijma → Qiyas
    • B) Quran → Qiyas → Sunnah → Ijma
    • C) Ijma → Quran → Sunnah → Qiyas
    • D) Quran → Sunnah → Ijma → Qiyas

    Answer: Quran → Sunnah → Ijma → Qiyas

    Explanation: In the Hanafi school (and broadly across all four schools), the correct order of legal sources is Quran first, then Sunnah, then Ijma (consensus), then Qiyas (analogy). The Hanafi school additionally includes Istihsan and Urf as supplementary sources beyond these four.
