Which of the following statements about Sharia law in the Middle East is false?

Answer
A
Sharia law is believed to be inspired by God.
B
Many Sharia court systems do not include protections for the accused.
C
Sharia law is a set of civil laws created without the influence of religion.
D
Sharia law legislates criminal acts and penalties.

Explanation

Sharia is a religious legal tradition based on Islamic sources, so it is not a set of civil laws created without religious influence. That makes choice C, “Sharia law is a set of civil laws created without the influence of religion,” the false statement. The other statements describe common beliefs about Sharia’s divine inspiration and its coverage of criminal law, though court systems and protections can vary.
