"ijma" or consensus among Muslims for determining matters of Islamic law.

ijma, has always been controversial and rarely practiced within Islam.
Some interpret it to mean "consensus of the scholars" - having nothing to do with the opinion of the community at large.
Even when its legitimacy is recognized, ijma is accepted only as a secondary (or tertiary) form of authority, behind the fiqh councils.
Also, it bears pointing out that ijma and consultation are applicable only within the Muslim community (and probably limited to the "consensus" of Muslim males).
