[edit] Information

This World gains exclusive access to a Sharia court and its characterful judge, Judge Isah, in the state of Zamfara in northern Nigeria.

Some British Muslims want Sharia law implemented in the UK. Sharia law is already practised informally in parts of Britain to resolve Islamic divorce, inheritance and family disputes. Now some Muslims want their laws to work alongside the existing legal system.

But many in the West see Sharia as oppressive and brutal because of punishments like stoning to death for adultery and amputations for theft.

Award-winning filmmaker Ruhi Hamid, a British Muslim, observes Sharia law in practice in the UK. She then heads to the state of Zamfara in northern Nigeria, which has a dual legal system of British Common law and Sharia law, to see how these two legal systems function side by side.
