From "Duhaime's Law Dictionary":

Sharia Law Definition:
Muslim or Islamic law, both civil and criminal justice as well as regulating individual conduct both personal and moral.

Related Terms: Muslim Law, Muslim, Islamic Law

The custom-based body of law based on the Koran and the religion of Islam [see, also, the Muslim Law Dictionary].

The sacred law of Islam; Islamic law and also referred to as Muslim law.

Because, by definition, Muslim states are theocracies, religious texts are law, the latter distinguished by Islam and Muslims in their application, as Sharia or Sharia law.

So thorough is the integration of the justice system and Church under Sharia law that Sharia courts are essentially religious courts; judges are usually local church (Mosque) officials.

Also spelled Shariah or Shari'ah and, in the USA, Shari'a. Because of the religious origin of the word, some prefer to capitalize it and others not.
