Please Explain: Shari'a (Islamic Law)

Shari'a can touch every aspect of an observant Muslim's life, but most non-Muslims' familiarity with Islamic law begins and ends with news items about veiling or jihad. We will find out what Shari'a is, what its context is within Islam, how it works in contemporary practice, and much more with Professor Frank Griffel from the Department of Religious Studies at Yale University, and Professor Bernard Haykel from the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University.
