1 answer
The answer is Sharia. Sharia is the legal and ethical code derived from Islamic scripture, including the Quran and the Sunnah (teachings and practices of Prophet Muhammad). It encompasses various aspects of a Muslim's life, including regulations on gambling and the consumption of alcohol. The Five Pillars of Islam, on the other hand, refer to the fundamental religious obligations that every Muslim is required to fulfill: Shahada (faith declaration), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting), and Hajj (pilgrimage).
