What is the meaning of 'Jamhoor'?

Answer

When we say 'Jamhoor', we generally refer to the vast majority of the Fuqaha of the Khairul Quroon (i.e. the three noblest eras of Islam – Sahaabah, Taabieen and Tab-e-Taabieen). In opposition to the Jamhoor will be isolated and rare views of authentic Fuqaha, but which are disregarded unless there is a dire or pressing need in a particular circumstance.
