There are several key differences between civil, common, and Shari'ah law.

*** Civil law is derived from the civil code, which is a codified body of laws that govern the rights and obligations of citizens and organizations.

***Common law, on the other hand, is based on judicial decisions and precedents, and it evolves over time.


***Shari'ah law, also known as Islamic law, is based on the principles of Islam and is derived from the Quran and the Hadith. Shari'ah law covers a wide range of topics, including personal conduct, marriage and divorce, and commercial transactions.
