Definition
- Sharia, which literally means “path to a watering place,” is the Islamic law based on the principles in the Quran and sunnah that were systematized in 100 to 200 A.H. (700–800 CE) into a legal framework regulating the public and private life of people living under Islamic rule. Fiqh (understanding) is the science of Islamic law developed from such sources.
