Use wikisource
Some links on constitutions is not reliable. It may be there for now, but might not in the future.

Why don't capture them in wikisource first before make a reference on them? 212.123.21.178 14:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Nothing about Sources of Sharia
This page doesn't talk about the four main sources of Sharia law in Sunnis: Quran, Hadith, Ijma and Qiyas. (or of the Shias for that matter.) Instead it starts with the statement that all Islamic law is either determined by Quran or by Legislation by interested parties. That makes no sense for the word Legislation itself means law and the interested parties are all the Muslims. The question is how is this law derived and to say that it is derived by legislation is just saying that the law is derived by making a law. Moreover Ijma or consensus is the factor which is used in interpreting the Quran and it's not as if whatever is present in the Quran constitutes timeless legal limits. For example, interest in prohibited in the Quran but Islamic countries round the world take loans from the world bank on interest. That is because there is no ijma (or consensus) on what constitutes interest according to the Quran. It looks as if the person who initially wrote this doesn't have a sound knowledge of fiqh. I would be willing to help out with providing with the required info if someone is willing to do a major overhaul of this page--Shahab (talk) 06:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
