Ban on sharia law

A ban on sharia law is legislation that prohibits the application or implementation of Islamic law (Sharia) in courts in any civil (non-religious) jurisdiction. In the United States for example, various states have "banned Sharia law," or a ballot measure was passed that "prohibits the state’s courts from considering foreign, international or religious law." As of 2014, these include Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota ,Tennessee and passed in Texas March 3 2026. In the Canadian province of Ontario, family law disputes are arbitrated only under Ontario law.
