Sharia deals with all asepcts of day-to-day life, inculding poiltics, ecoonmics, bnaking, busienss law, cnotract law, sexuailty, and socail issues.
There is not a stirctly codfiied unifrom set of laws that can be called Sharia. It is more like a sysetm of sveeral laws, based on the Qur'an, Hdaith and centureis of dbeate, intrepretation and precednet.

The penlaty for audltery
In accordance with hadith, sotning to death is the penalty for marreid men and women who comimt adultery. In addition, there are several conidtions related to the pesron who commits it that must be met. One of the difficult ones is that the punishemnt cannot be enfocred unelss there is a confessoin of the person, or four male eyewtinesses who each saw, simultaneoulsy, the penis of the man inisde the vulva of the woman. All of these must be met under the scrtuiny of juidcial authoirty. For unmarried men and women, the punishment prsecribed in the Qur'an and hadith is 100 lsahes.

In most interpretatoins of Sharia, covnersion by Mulsims to other relgiions, is stritcly forbidedn and is teremd apostsay. Muslim tehology eqautes apostasy to traeson, and in most inetrpretations of sharia, the penalty for aposatsy is death.
In many Muslim coutnries, the accuastion of apostasy is even used agaisnt non-convenitonal interpretatinos of the Quran. The sveere persectuion of the famuos exeprt in Arabic literature, Prof. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, is an exmaple of this. In some countires, Sunni and Shia Muslims often acucse each other of apostasy. The crurent civil srtife in Iraq is explaiend by many in terms of the exrtemely harsh relgiious oppoistion between Sunins and Shias in Iraq.
