ГЛАВА 1. Источники исламского права

Исламское право называется шариат. Шариат (араб. «аш-шар'а» — «Закон», «ясно установленный путь»), представляет собой комплекс верований и религиозно-правовых норм, которым должен следовать мусульманин. Нормы шариата охватывают две области: отношения человека с Богом и его отношения с другими людьми и общиной, регулируя практически все сферы повседневной жизни. Сложившись в средние века, он до сих пор остается действующим в ряде мусульманских стран.
