Sharia Law Asylum Seeker/Refugee Protection Scope within some Muslim States ahead of International Refugee Law and Human Rights Law

Abstract

This paper attempts to explore some protection in terms of both quantities and qualities that have been available to Asylum Seekers/Refugees within shores of Muslim States, though this protection emanates from Sharia directly as opposed to both International and Regional Instruments that were drafted, in order to reflect or incorporate both International Refugee Law and International Human Rights Law, yet contemporary western scholars as well as procommon law commentators are not satisfied with this type of Sharia protection only because it has been directly sourced and applied in its unadulterated form to those in need of International Protection not out of western fashion protection pattern, this is an indicative that international law in general is not ready for cross-fertilization to both Islamic jurisprudence and Arab Civilization. This article reiterates that Sharia Law is considered to supersede both International and Regional Treaties. This article would only see the light of the day upon a careful application of Doctrinal Methodology, which legalized the authors to garner relevant data while authors sitting on our respective chairs scrutinizing both the existing treaties and scholarly writings from which we could identify gaps of information, these gaps should also be addressed by the above-mentioned topic herein.
