Sharia and fiqh: its meaning as a legal corpus

Main Article Content
Abstract
Sharia and fiqh can be described as the most genuine characteristics of Islam, in fact, many consider them the backbone of the Muslim religion; both refer to the law produced in the history of Islam from its origins to the present time (including jurisprudence and legal doctrine). It refers to the set of divine precepts and to the analysis of legal experts based on the original text, the Koran and the Sunna, for the derivation of rules from the same sources through the legal methodology of Islamic jurisprudence. Sharia law covers not only legal rules; it is an ethical and moral code that presents the divine will in order to be fulfilled by the community of Muslims. Understanding the difference between the two concepts, sharia and fiqh, help to promote the dynamism of the law to adapt to specific social contexts, and to dismiss claims made on behalf of the sharia.
