Explanation

In Islamic jurisprudence, the primary formal sources of Muslim law are hierarchical. The Koran is the primary and absolute source (a), followed by the Hadis or Sunnah reflecting the traditions of the Prophet (c), Ijmaa representing consensus of jurists (b), and Kiyas representing analogical deduction (d). Thus, the correct chronological and authority sequence is (a), (c), (b), (d).
