HR 5512 United States House · 119th Congress

No Shari’a Act

This bill prohibits U.S. courts from enforcing judgments based on Shari'a or any foreign law if they conflict with constitutional rights, particularly in family law cases like divorce, child custody, or inheritance. It requires courts to apply only U.S. law when foreign legal systems would violate fundamental rights such as due process, equal protection, or freedom from coercion. Contracts may still reference foreign law, but enforcement is blocked if it infringes constitutional protections. The law aims to ensure all court decisions comply with U.S. constitutional standards nationwide.
