This program was developed to contribute to meeting the demand for contemporary Sharia and Law studies by our society and to reflect its development, and to highlight the particularity of our culture and Islamic identity. The importance of such studies is evident by their absence or scarcity in the Kingdom, and the emphasis on Sharia or Law aspect without the other.
The study plan for this program was designed to qualify students and acquaint them with various specialized Sharia knowledge in part, and with legal knowledge put forth by state regulations and international treaties in another. Which prepares graduates and insures integration of academic knowledge necessary for practising judiciary work and prosecution, consultancy, or other work within the fields of Sharia and law.
