What is Muslim Law in India?

Though Islam is a popular and recognized monolithic religion, the divisions and difference of opinions do exist on the grounds of several sub sect customs and practices. The most widely recognized of such a distinction is between the Schools of Shia and Sunni. Correspondingly, the Islamic law as practiced in these communities exhibits subtle variations.

Sunni School

There are four governing bodies for Islamic law for Muslims as per the Sunni School of thought which are as follows:

• ~The Quran
• ~Haadis or Sunnat
• ~Ijma
• ~Qiyas

Shia School

In the Shia school, the governing bodies of law which administer Muslims are The Quran, Hadith and the dictums of Imams. They do not agree with the Sunni school of thought of considering Quiyas as an authentic source of law and regulations. And besides the Shias do not support the Haadis verses which have originated from the family households not related by blood to the messenger Prophet Muhammed himself. Thus, they only adhere to compilations of the likes such as; AL-Kafi, and Tahdhib -UL-Abham as most genuine of all collections.
