EXPLORING CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS OF ISLAMIC LAW (SHARIAH) IN MODERN LEGAL SYSTEMS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

While Sharia constitutes a very important branch in the system of law in various countries, with increasing diversity in global societies, there is a need to know the workings of Sharia in modern frameworks. The research seeks to explore the workings of Islamic law in jurisdictions across Muslim-majority states and secular ones. It investigates the challenges and opportunities that arise when Sharia interplays with modern legal systems. Using case studies and comparative analysis, the study touches on the practical implications and gives recommendations to policymakers, legal practitioners, and researchers interested in legal pluralism.
