The issue of Sharia and its implementation has remained a topical one in Nigeria in recent times. Sharia consists of Muslim legal codes, which spells out do's and donts within any given Muslim society. Generally, sharia refers to variable, but identifiable and generally agreed principles of laws and ethics accepted by Muslims as authoritative statements about Allah's will for human societies. It provides for codes of ethics, social interactions and legal systems. Sharia is often referred to as regulating the full range of human activities including

religious rituals, and social manners. However, it is only the jurisprudence and legal rules in civil, commercial, criminal and family law matters, which is the subject of law in the sense of rules which are enforced and made the subject of sanctions by institutions in society like legislatures, courts, police or prisons. It is these legal rules, enforced in society by formal institutions, that are the concern in this publication.
