  1. sharia law

    Sharia law, also known as Islamic law, is a religious legal system governing the members of the Islamic faith. It is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith. It covers all aspects of life, including crime, politics, economics, personal matters like sexuality, hygiene, diet, prayer, and fasting. Depending on interpretation, it is enforced by some Islamic countries to varying degrees, and punishments for violators can be severe. However, the understanding and practice of Sharia law can differ greatly among different Muslim communities.
