Abstract

The growing presence of Muslims in the West raises the question of the institutional sta-tus of Islam: the harmonization and compatibility of the Islamic legal system and the norms of the host society. Sharia remains a key problem of modern Islam and a focal point of the con-flictual confrontation between Western and Islamic socio-normative cultures, which raises the problem of realizing double legality: religious precepts and secularism. The subject of the analy-sis was the views of the French imam Tareq Oubrou of the legal aspects of the integration of the Muslim minority in the West through the concepts of “Sharia of the minority”, “reduction” and “ethization of the Sharia”. The work uses the method of qualitative text analysis, as well as the means of comparative legal, formal legal, systemic approaches and conceptual modeling with an emphasis on building an explanatory paradigm scheme. The concept of “Sharia of the minority” is actually a tool for creating legal secularized Islam, adapted to European law. In addition, it sets the framework for the preservation of Islamic identity as a minority. The concept proposed by T. Oubrou has some practical value, is theoretically fully realizable in practice and has no signif-icant flaws, except for strong external opposition from the majority society and the traditional Muslims.
