Islamic Law, often referred to as Sharia, is a legal system derived from Islamic teachings that govern various aspects of life, including personal conduct, family matters, business transactions, and criminal justice. As a course, it explores the foundational sources of Islamic law, primarily the Quran and Sunnah, along with secondary sources such as Ijma (consensus) and Qiyas (analogical reasoning). Students examine the historical development of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) and the different schools of thought, including Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, which interpret and apply legal principles in diverse ways. The course also delves into the methodologies used by scholars to derive legal rulings and the role of Islamic law in contemporary legal systems. It covers topics such as marriage, inheritance, contracts, and criminal law, highlighting the interaction between religious principles and legal norms. Additionally, the course addresses the application of Islamic law in modern contexts, including its relationship with international law and human rights. Through case studies and comparative analysis, students gain a comprehensive understanding of how Islamic law influences legal practices in various Muslim-majority countries and beyond.
