Corresponding Author Badri Hasan Sulaiman - The Role Of The Shia Sect In Islamic Law

The Shia sect was born due to political factors that later developed into Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence). The different perspectives on the Caliph of Ali ibn Abi Talib’s position have led to several sectarianisms within Shia, from ordinary to extreme views, some claiming that angel Gabriel sent wrong revelations to Muhammad instead of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Not all of the Sects of Shia are misleading though. The Shia’s teachings are, however, contrary to the Aqeedah (creed) and thus should be watched to avoid negative consequences. This article explores Islamic law thought from the perception of Shia sects to get a clear point of view and prevent the misunderstanding of Shia sects in the Islamic society.
