Next comes the case in which some Companions express a view and the others remain silent instead of objecting.

A ruling is voiced, it becomes known to other qualified Companions, and no objection is raised. This is not identical to everyone explicitly pronouncing the same judgment, which is why it receives a distinct rank.

Silence can be evidence of agreement only in an appropriate setting: the matter is known, objection is possible, and no alternative reason for silence is present. The absence of a recorded objection by itself must not be treated as proof of universal assent.
