Religious law

Religious law comes from the sacred texts of various religions.[1] They cover most parts of personal and contract law.[1] Most religious law systems are either based on Islamic law (Sharia) or Judaic law (Halakha).[2] Religious laws generally are used in countries that also have other legal systems such as civil or common law.[2]
