Malaysia does not have a single, overarching system of Sharia law. Instead, it operates under a dual legal system where both secular (civil and criminal) and Islamic (Sharia) laws exist side-by-side. Sharia law primarily applies to Muslims in matters of personal and family law, such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance. Criminal and civil matters for all citizens are governed by secular laws enacted by the parliament.
