Sharia law courts

Sharia law courts apply Islamic legal principles to resolve disputes and handle various issues such as marriage, inheritance, and criminal conduct within Muslim communities. They operate alongside secular legal systems in some countries, offering religiously based rulings that reflect Islamic teachings. These courts assess cases based on religious texts, traditions, and jurisprudence, often emphasizing community values and moral considerations. While their authority varies by jurisdiction, they are generally intended to serve practitioners of Islam, providing guidance consistent with their faith while respecting the broader legal framework of the country.
