    What role does Islamic Sharia play in RDSC judgments?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    In the absence of specific legislation, the RDSC tribunals are legally required to refer to the provisions of Islamic Sharia. This is part of a hierarchy of sources that also includes the principles of natural justice, equity, and fairness. By incorporating Sharia as a secondary source, the law ensures that judgments are consistent with the cultural and legal heritage of the UAE while providing a comprehensive framework to resolve issues where modern statutes might be silent or ambiguous.
