[quote]Thank you so much for answering. 
 To the extent the difference between Sunnah and Hadith is concerned I am fairly satisfied with the explanation in the course, articles and the queries. What I still would like to inquire about more is the process of making new decisions for instance in case of the change in the rates of Gold and silver the Zakat must be changed as the mechanics of economics have propelled the world to new heights. And to think that the same level of the tax is applicable is at best absurd (my opinion)to me. Hence a new Ijtehad and Ijma process must be undertaken to reformulate the law in this case. Or in case of Inheritance Law I personally think we need to change the so called sunni law as I know for a fact most sunni families profess to be shia when it comes to inheritance issues in my country thus committing blasphemy. In my humble opinion the definition of family direly needs a change to which I have a whole argument in my mind. In this case I personally believe if the process of Ijtehad and Ijma is reestablished we can work wonders.  So my question is, this process of Ijtehad and Ijma which was closed by Imam Shafi, which current modernist referred to as the &quot;Living Sunnah&quot;(which apparently is not the sunnah referred by religious definitions) What do you people call it? Do you believe in this process? If yes please can you elaborate.[/quote]
