[quote]As far as I have understood his point of view, he is not favoring the 'majority' at the expense of Quran or Sunnah. 'Majority' for him is a solution of the problem of choosing from variant interpretations of Quran&Sunnah, or of making a decision where these original sources have apparently shown silence.

What needs to be asked, however is that whether 'majority' is a real phenomenon, or is it just a wishful observation because some scholars of recent times assumed that there has been a consensus of opinions on certain things?

Yunn na tha mein ne faqat chaaha tha yunn ho jaaye?

Let me also mention why this question is important, because Brother Usmani will most probably question its utility. My question is important because if it can be shown that infact 'majority' has existed, then his solution might be valid. But incase it can be shown that there have been differences of opinion in such matters of religion by the scholars of the past, however minor they might be, it would refute the existence of 'majority' and hence make the solution invalid.
