Sharia Courts are legal bodies that operate under Islamic law, known as Sharia. They primarily handle personal matters such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance for Muslims. The rulings are based on interpretations of the Quran and Hadith, which are the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. These courts exist in various countries, often alongside secular legal systems. Their authority and the extent of their jurisdiction can vary significantly, depending on local laws and cultural practices. In some regions, Sharia Courts are recognized by the state, while in others, they operate informally within the community.
