    Credits:
  • Saudi Arabia's legal system is based on the the Islamic Shari'ah which has been derived from the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad.

    Under the Islamic Shari'ah, God is considered the sole lawmaker; the word "legislation", is therefore not used since it implies "secular law".

    In addition to Islamic Shari'ah, a range of statutory laws exist to regulate civil and commercial offences.

  • Information

    King is the ultimate authority

  • In Saudi Arabia, basic law designates the King as the authority that supersedes State authorities, including the legislative authority. As the Head of State of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, he is empowered, to amend, repeal, enact any laws and regulations by a Royal Order.

  • Criminal law in Saudi Arabia is also governed by Sharia law; depending on the type and severity of the crime, punishments range from flogging, execution, public-beheading and retaliatory punishments.

    Children above 15 can be tried as adults and be punished with stoning, amputation, flogging etc.

    In case of rape/adultery, women despite being the victim can be stoned to death whereas the man receives lashes.
