Shariah Guard

Unlike European law, decisions in Sharia courts are not made by the jury, but personally by the Cadi (Sharia judge) in the district court of first instance. The plaintiff and defendant themselves appear in court in person, the lawyer only prepares documents and consults at the pre-trial stage.

Three cadis make decisions in the appellate court of the district. There is no appeal in Sharia. The Supreme Judicial Council (among the Sunnis) or the Mujtahid of the Judiciary (Iran) is formed in the judicial system, which appoint all the judges and are the supervisory authority. Juries are not formed due to the fact that in the doctrine of Islamic law, the qadi is obliged to help the parties in resolving the conflict and he is a fakih, that is, an expert on law.

The Qur'an provides for public punishment (24: 2) and the mandatory presence of at least four witnesses (24: 4)

• Stoning ( Rajm )
• Beheading with a sword (Quran 47: 4)
• Clipping hands for theft (Quran 5:38)
• 100 strokes for adultery ( Quran 24: 2)
• 80 hits for perjury (Quran 24: 4)
• Fine ( Arabic: ديت ) for manslaughter (Quran 4:92)

Saudi Arabia

In Saudi Arabia, the Shariah Guard is subordinate to the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue . The total number of the Shariah Guard of Saudi Arabia is about 3,500. Quite often, clashes occur between the Shariah guard and the elite National Guard in the kingdom due to the actions of the Shariah guard.

The Saudi Sharia Guard has the right to collect and investigate complaints, as well as to detain suspects. Shariah guards also patrol streets and public places in order to prevent acts of alcoholism, drug sales, prostitution, hooliganism, theft. They also carefully monitor the observance of decency in clothing . In April 2016, it became known that, according to the new law, the Sharia guard was deprived of the right to detain suspects, and should only report them to ordinary police officers ^[1] .

In CRI, the Shariah guard had official status as an enforcement agency of the Ministry of Shariah Security of CRI in 1998-1999. Her actions (clashes in Gudermes) at one time led to an aggravation of the situation .
