The four fundamental sources of the osol al-fiqh I heard are
- Qur'an
- Sunnah
- consensus of Muslim jurists (ijma),
- qiyas (analogical reasoning)
**a) Do all four of these sources, have equal authority, or one prevails over the other?**
For example:
1. Qur'an
2. Sunnah
3. consensus of Muslim jurists (ijma)
4. qiyas (analogical reasoning)
**b) Do most of the scholar accept these four Sources?**
For example:
Ibn Taymiyyah opposed the use of consensus of jurists, replacing it with the consensus of the sahaba.

Reason of question:
I see some question on this site, regarding the scholar view even though there is clear Quran/Hadith indication, so are the scholar views at par with Quran/Sunnah.
