Islamic Sharia Council

The Islamic Sharia Council is a London-based, quasi-Islamic court that provides legal rulings and advice to Muslims in accordance with Islamic Sharia based on the four Sunni schools of thought. It primarily handles cases of marriage and divorce and, to a lesser extent business and finance. The council has no legal authority or jurisdiction in the United Kingdom [" [http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,2102434,00.html In the name of the law] " The Guardian] .
