Understanding Sharia Processes : Women's Experiences of Family Disputes
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com Sharia family law processes have attracted increasing debate and controversy in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia in recent years.While the reasons for opposition to sharia processes are complex, they often feature the concern that sharia processes disadvantage Muslim women. However, to date there has been inadequate attention to the experiences of participants in sharia processes.This book studies women’s experiences with these processes in Australia, with attention to the question of how religious communities and liberal legal systems can best respond to the needs of Muslim women who use these processes.In doing so, the book offers unique evidence to inform future policy developments in Australia that will also have implications for other liberal jurisdictions. In this way, the book makes a significant contribution to the international discussion and response to sharia processes.

Is Sharia a must?
Sharia is a set of Islamic laws and principles that govern various aspects of a Muslim's life, including personal conduct, family matters, and business dealings. While Sharia is considered mandatory for Muslims to follow, its implementation can vary depending on the country and individual interpretation. Some Muslims believe that Sharia is a necessary part of their faith and should be upheld in all aspects of life, while others may prioritize certain aspects of Sharia over others based on their personal beliefs and circumstances. Ultimately, the importance of Sharia is subjective and can vary among individuals and communities.

Unravelling Sharia : Muslim Constitutionalism and the Reform of Islamic Law
Implementation of the Sharia, as the divine, religious law of Islam, has consistently featured as an integral part of the Muslim constitutionalism.The Muslim world has remained preoccupied with interpreting and enforcement of the Sharia principles, often at the detriment of constitutional principles.In its legal permutations, the Sharia also poses the most substantial challenge to accepting global human rights standards. This study contends that the continuing inability to frame an appropriate role for the Sharia is inhibiting human right with the effect of crippling economic, social and political developments within the Muslim world.In supporting the separation between religious principles as determined by the Sharia vis-a-vis secularist legal principles of human rights and rule of law, the study makes the radical assertion that the Sharia (although divinely ordained) was never designed to have a legislative character for the determination of public laws and public policy.In addition it argues that that any attempts to regulate human and social behaviour within the Quran was contextually-driven and that these social regulations were and transient and not intended to pronounce God's eternal law.This book offers a radical restatement of our understanding and application of Sharia by one of the subject's foremost scholars.

Human Rights Commitments of Islamic States : Sharia, Treaties and Consensus
This book examines the legal nature of Islamic states and the human rights they have committed to uphold.It begins with an overview of the political history of Islam, and of Islamic law, focusing primarily on key developments of the first two centuries of Islam.Building on this foundation, the book presents the first study into Islamic constitutions to map the relationship between Sharia and the state in terms of institutions of governance.It then assesses the place of Islamic law in the national legal order of all of today’s Islamic states, before proceeding to a comprehensive analysis of those states’ adherences to the UN human rights treaties, and finally, a set of international human rights declarations made jointly by Islamic states. Throughout, the focus remains on human rights. Having examined Islamic law first in isolation, then as it reflects into state structures and national constitutional orders, the book provides the background necessary to understand how an Islamic state’s treaty commitments reflect into national law.In this endeavour, the book unites three strands of analysis: the compatibility of Sharia with the human rights enunciated in UN treaties; the patterns of adherence of Islamic states with those treaties; and the compatibility of international Islamic human rights declarations with UN standards.By exploring the international human rights commitments of all Islamic states within a single analytical framework, this book will appeal to international human rights and constitutional scholars with an interest in Islamic law and states.It will also be useful to readers with a general interest in the relationships between Sharia, Islamic states, and internationally recognised human rights.

For Putin and for Sharia : Dagestani Muslims and the Islamic State
For Putin and for Sharia examines what it means to support sharia in twenty-first-century Dagestan, where calls for an Islamic state coexist with nostalgia for the days of Stalin's rule and Mecca calendars hang alongside portraits of Putin.Confronting existing narratives about sharia, terrorism, and anti-terrorism through ethnographic fieldwork, Iwona Kaliszewska looks at the beliefs and practices of Dagestani Muslims, revealing that the pursuit of sharia can assume a range of forms from sweeping visions of an Islamic state imposed through violence, to minor acts of everyday resistance against injustice, to attempts to restore the security and stability once afforded by the Soviet state.In For Putin and for Sharia, Kaliszewska challenges the official dichotomy of Muslims as supporting either the political underground or state authorities and deconstructs the Salafi/Sufi division between the so-called reformists and traditional Islam.

The Sharia Inquiry, Religious Practice and Muslim Family Law in Britain
In February 2018, the ‘Independent Review on Sharia Law in England and Wales’ was published, headed by Professor Mona Siddiqui.The review focused on whether sharia law is being misused or applied in a way that is incompatible with the domestic law in England and Wales, and, in particular, whether there were discriminatory practices against women who use sharia councils.It came about after years of concerns raised by academics, lawyers and women’s activists.This timely collection of essays from experts, scholars and legal practitioners provides a critique and evaluation of the Inquiry findings as a starting point for analysis and debate on current British Muslim family law practices in the matters of marriage and divorce.At the heart of the collection lie key questions of state action and legal reform of religious practices that may operate ‘outside the sphere of law and legal relations’ but also in conjunction with state law mechanisms and processes.This cutting-edge book is a must read for those with an interest in Islamic law, family law, sociology of religion, human rights, multiculturalism, politics, anthropology of law and gender studies.

Is Sharia law represented in Brazil?
Sharia law is not officially represented in Brazil. Brazil is a secular country with a predominantly Christian population, and its legal system is based on civil law. While there may be small communities of Muslims in Brazil who may follow Sharia law in their personal lives, it is not recognized or implemented at a national level. The Brazilian legal system is based on the principles of equality and individual rights, which are not in line with the principles of Sharia law.

Why are you against Sharia law?
I am against Sharia law because it is based on interpretations of Islamic religious texts that can be discriminatory and oppressive, particularly towards women and minority groups. It often restricts personal freedoms and imposes harsh punishments that do not align with modern principles of justice and human rights. Additionally, the implementation of Sharia law can lead to the marginalization of non-Muslims and restrict religious freedom. I believe in the separation of religion and state, and that laws should be based on principles of equality, justice, and individual rights, rather than religious doctrine.

Why don't wealthy Sharia states like Saudi Arabia help a very impoverished Sharia state like Afghanistan?
Wealthy Sharia states like Saudi Arabia may have their own reasons for not providing significant aid to impoverished Sharia states like Afghanistan. Some possible reasons could include political differences, concerns about how the aid may be used, or a desire to maintain their own economic stability. Additionally, wealthy states may have their own domestic priorities and challenges that limit their ability to provide extensive aid to other countries. Ultimately, the decision to provide aid is complex and influenced by a variety of factors.
