Arabic (شريعة) name-forming means - "law, canon, legislation, religious law, code, dispensation".
Sharia (Shariah) is the moral code and religious law of Islam. Sharia deals with many topics addressed by secular law, including crime, politics, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, and fasting. Though meanings of sharia vary between cultures, in its strictest definition it is considered the infallible law of God as opposed to the human interpretation of the laws (fiqh).
