Sharia in the Philippines

Shari'ah or Islamic law is partially implemented in the legal system of the Philippines and is applicable only to Filipino Muslims. Shari'ah courts in the country are under the supervision of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.

Shari'ah courts in the Philippines until 2024 have jurisdiction over the Muslim-majority Bangsamoro as well as other parts of Mindanao outside that autonomous region. This scope was expanded nationwide in August 2024 via Republic Act No. 12018.
