1. sharia

   Sharia, also spelled Shariah or Sharia law, is the religious law forming part of the Islamic tradition. It is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith (sayings and conduct of the Prophet Muhammad). In Arabic, the term "sharia" means "path" or "way". The sharia law guides all aspects of a Muslim's life, including daily routines, familial and religious obligations, and financial dealings. However, interpretations of it vary between countries and communities.

1. Sharia

   Sharia is the moral code and religious law of Islam. Sharia deals with many topics addressed by secular law, including crime, politics, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, and fasting. Though interpretations of sharia vary between cultures, in its strictest definition it is considered the infallible law of God—as opposed to the human interpretation of the laws. There are two primary sources of sharia law: the precepts set forth in the Quran, and the example set by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Sunnah. Where it has official status, sharia is interpreted by Islamic judges with varying responsibilities for the religious leaders. For questions not directly addressed in the primary sources, the application of sharia is extended through consensus of the religious scholars thought to embody the consensus of the Muslim Community. Islamic jurisprudence will also sometimes incorporate analogies from the Quran and Sunnah through qiyas, though Shia jurists prefer reasoning to analogy.
