The classical sharia system is exemplified by Saudi Arabia and some other Gulf states. Iran shares many of the same features, but also possesses characteristics of mixed legal systems, such as a parliament and codified laws.

Sharia (/ʃəˈriːə/; Arabic: شَرِيعَة‎ [ʃaˈriːʕah]), Islamic law, or Sharia law, is a religious law forming part of the Islamic tradition. It is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the hadith.

During his lifetime, Muhammad helped clarify the law by interpreting provisions in the Koran and acting as a judge in legal cases. Thus, Islamic law, the Sharia, became an integral part of the Muslim religion. Following Muhammad’s death in A.D. 632, companions of Muhammad ruled Arabia for about 30 years.

Sharia, or Islamic law, influences the legal code in most Muslim countries. A movement to allow sharia to govern personal status law, a set of regulations that pertain to marriage, divorce, inheritance, and custody, is even expanding into the West.

Sharia law is Islam’s legal system. It is derived from both the Koran, Islam’s central text, and fatwas – the rulings of Islamic scholars.

The five pillars – the declaration of faith (shahada), prayer (salah), alms-giving (zakat), fasting (sawm) and pilgrimage (hajj) – constitute the basic norms of Islamic practice. They are accepted by Muslims globally irrespective of ethnic, regional or sectarian differences.

Traditionally, dogs are considered haram, or forbidden, in Islam as they are thought of as dirty. But while conservatives advocate complete avoidance, moderates simply say Muslims should not touch the animal’s mucous membranes — such as the nose or mouth — which are considered especially impure.

Haram (/həˈrɑːm, hæˈrɑːm, hɑːˈrɑːm, -ˈræm/; Arabic: حَرَام‎, ḥarām, [ħaˈraːm]) is an Arabic term meaning ‘forbidden’.

Harem (Arabic: حريم‎ ḥarīm, “a sacred inviolable place; harem; female members of the family”) properly refers to domestic spaces that are reserved for the women of the house in a Muslim family. In harems of the past, concubines, which were enslaved women, were also housed in the harem.

The Prophet (pbuh) said, “One should not sleep before the night prayer, nor have discussions after it” [SB 574]. Additionally, Muslims are required to wake up for Fajr prayer, which is about one hour before sunrise. The Prophet did not sleep after Fajr prayer.

Margin trading, day trading, options, and futures are considered prohibited by sharia by the “majority of Islamic scholars” (according to Faleel Jamaldeen).

Islamic principles require that investors share in profit and loss, that they receive no interest (riba), and that they do not invest in a business that is prohibited by Islamic law, or sharia.

The result shows that cryptocurrency is hugely volatile and has limits to being called ‘money,’ as it is limited and used for speculation, which is prohibited in Islam. The research implies that Muslims would be reluctant to use cryptocurrency as money, as a currency of transaction.

Conventional Insurance. Most Islamic jurists conclude that conventional insurance is unacceptable in Islam because it does not conform with sharia for the following reasons: Conventional insurance includes an element of al-gharar or uncertainty.

Why? According to Islamic law (aka Shari’ah), it is forbidden to make money from interest known as “riba” in Arabic. This means that adherent Muslims won’t partake in most 401(k) programs unless there is an option for the employee to direct the allocation of funds into which their money is invested.

Islamic mortgages are not haram. Halal means lawful or allowed in Islamic law. A traditional mortgage is haram, but Islamic home purchase plans are halal.

But insurance, particularly life insurance, is prohibited by many Islamic scholars because insurance firms may invest the money in shares of firms that are in the business of alcohol, gambling or entertainment— this is not allowed by shariah or Islamic law.
