In English usage, the term "sharia" has been largely identified with 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, everyday etiquette and fasting. Though interpretations of sharia vary between cultures, most Sharia law is determined through human interpretation of the laws (fiqh) which fuses together the modern context of society with Islamic values A minority consider Sharia to be infallible (because only a minority are Salafist who consider it infallible), whereas, the traditional fiqh methodology ensures that Sharia is adapted to times and society, the overwhelming majority of Sunni and Shia Muslims belong to a fiqh. Hanafi, Hanbali etc. which implement their interpretations within the different contexts of their societies.There are two primary sources of sharia law: the precepts set forth in the Quranic verses (ayahs), and the example set by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Sunnah. Where it has official status, sharia is interpreted by Islamic judges (qadis) with varying responsibilities for the religious leaders (imams). For questions not directly addressed in the primary sources, the application of sharia is extended through consensus of the religious scholars (ulama) thought to embody the consensus of the Muslim Community (ijma). Islamic jurisprudence will also sometimes incorporate analogies from the Quran and Sunnah through qiyas, though many scholars both Sunni and Shia jurists also prefer reasoning ('aql) to analogy.The introduction of sharia is a longstanding goal for Islamist movements globally, including in Western countries, but attempts to impose sharia have been accompanied by controversy, violence, and even warfare. Nonetheless, in some cases Sharia law has been adopted through democratic process such as in Egypt and Pakistan, whose landmark declaration in 1956 was touted for having fused a constitutional guaranteed of religious freedom with state administration of Mosques and zakat And at times movements that want to implement Sharia through democracy have been violently suppressed, such as in Egypt where the Muslim Brotherhood won 5 consecutive elections, but was overthrown in a coup d'etat and in Algeria where Islamists won the election and were denied power Most countries do not recognize sharia; however, some countries in Asia, Africa and Europe recognize sharia and use it as the basis for divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs of their Islamic population. In Britain, the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal makes use of sharia family law to settle disputes, and this limited adoption of sharia is controversial.The concept of crime, judicial process, justice and punishment embodied in sharia is different from that of secular law. The differences between sharia and secular laws have led to an on-going controversy as to whether sharia is compatible with secular democracy, freedom of thought, and women's rights.In secular jurisprudence, sharia is classified as religious law, which is one of the three major categories that individual legal systems generally fall under, alongside civil law and common law.. }
