A political document
Correct Answer: Option B — The second primary source of Islamic law
Explanation:
The Sunnah comprising the Prophet's sayings (Hadith) actions and tacit approvals is the second primary source of Islamic law after the Quran. It provides practical interpretation and application of Quranic principles. The Quran itself commands Muslims to obey the Prophet in Surah An-Nisa (4:80) establishing the Sunnah's divine authority.
