If the Qur'ān and sunnah are silent on an issue or do not provide sufficient basis for a clear ruling, Qustanti jurists refer to secondary sources of law, either directly or to better illuminate higher sources. Foremost among these is ''{{wp|ijma'}}'', or consensus. In common with other Shi'a, Qustantis consider consensus among the {{wp|Companions of the Prophet}} is considered an extension of Sacred Tradition and is binding, as is consensus of the {{wp|ulama}} under the infallible Twelve Imams. Unlike other Shi'a, Qustantis also consider consensus among the first three generations of the citizens of Medina to be binding, although subordinate to consensus among the two aforementioned groups. Consensus among later Qustanti ulama and among the Qustanti community at large carries persuasive value, but is not binding. | If the Qur'ān and sunnah are silent on an issue or do not provide sufficient basis for a clear ruling, Qustanti jurists refer to secondary sources of law, either directly or to better illuminate higher sources.

The independence of [[Qustantistan]] as part of the broader [[Crusades]] had the effect of solidifying Qustanti Islam as a distinct and surviving religious tradition. Historians generally attribute [[1144]], the year of the [[Crusades#Third_Crusade_(1144)|Third Crusade]], as the beginning of the period of "modern" Qustanti Islam. From that period, an unbroken line of Caliphs have governed the Qustanti faithful. Beginning with the age of exploration and advent of global trade and {{Wp|early modern period}}, Qustanti Islam found its way to many different countries and continents. In the 21st century, Qustanti communities are present on all seven continents. | |||
