Islamsko pravo fikh (figh) deo je šerijata (aš-šari'a) koji se i sam prevodi kao pravo mada je to mnogo širi pojam od prava. Fikh predstavlja zajedno sa integralnim šerijatom najtipičniju manifestaciju verskog učenja ove velike svetske religije čiji ideološki karakter ne spore ni najveći islamski autoriteti. Sa tog gledišta razumeti fikh, odnosno šerijat, znači razumeti suštinu islamske ideje i prakse koja se u ime te ideje sprovodi. Bez razumevanja ovoga fenomena ne može se shvatiti sama priroda islamskog pogleda na svet.
