More than simply a system of law, it is concerned with a set of values and rules that are essential to the understanding and practice of Islam.

Extending from the sources of Shariah in the Qur’an, hadith and the legal maxims of Islamic law to the discussion of issues such as freedom of religion, gender equality and human rights, Shariah Law: Questions and Answers connects the theoretical aspects of the law with how it is applied in the world today.
