Abstract
Abstract In most of the literature on international human rights in Muslim states, Shariah principles are interpreted in a way to limit the scope of human rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and non-discrimination. In this paper, I want to argue that Shariah principles can be used to enhance the Muslim statesâ obligations related to the right to health. After exploring the health-related emphasis in the primary sources of Shariah, I argue that the obligations of Muslim states to the right to health are dual, as parties to the International Bill of Rights and Shariah status in Muslim constitutionalism. I will set a theoretical framework for bridging international human rights with Shariah where synergy is possible.
