The authors construct the fundamental matrix solution of the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation associated with \(U_q(\widehat{sl}_2)\) for \(|q|=1\) and give a formula for its determinant in terms of double sine functions. The solution itself is constructed in terms of \(l\)-dimensional integrals and the non-degeneracy of the matrix is proven by computing its determinant. The integrands of the integrals are meromorphic functions given explicitly in terms of double sine functions and the determinant itself is a simple product of double sine functions.
