wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi!

Thank you for your question! The concept of ijma in the Zaidi school refers to consensus of the Ahl al-Bayt. The consensus of the Ahl al-Bayt is considered a proof in the religion due to the ayat tatheer (Q. 33:33) and many mutawatir ahadith that refer to the Ahl al-Bayt as sources of guidance, such as Hadith Thaqalayn, Hadith as-Safina, and others.

All imams from Ahl al-Bayt whose opinion can be linked to their ancestors are considered.

Hope this helps!
