٣. رأي الإمام مالك في عمل أهل المدينة وأقوال الصحابة
people of Madinah is well known, but he went fnrther than that and regarded the opinions of the Companions, especially the caliphs who came after the Prophet (Blessings and peace be upon him), as binding.373 4. Ibn Taymiyah said: "Those among these scholars who said that the opinion of a Companion is binding meant that this applies as long as there is no other Companion who gave a different view, and no text to the contrary is known. Moreover, if it became widely known, and no one objected to it, that may be regarded as approval for this opinion. So if it is known that they approved it and no one objected to it, it may be said that this is consensus by approval, because they do not approve of falsehood.374 But if the opinion did not become widely known, or if it is known that Financial and jlldiciary institutions at the time of 'Ali someone disagreed with it, then it is not binding and does not count as evidence, according to consensus."375
