The Islamic legal system of Sharia and Fiqh is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the hadith. It is one of the most widely used religious laws globally and is based on divine sources. Sharia is contrasted with fiqh, which refers to the principles behind the interpretations of Islamic scholars. Mainstream Islam distinguishes between fiqh and sharia, with fiqh referring to scholars' inferences and sharia referring to the underlying principles.
