Abstract EN
The study aimed at evaluating the religion pre-requisite stipulated for the presidential candidate according to Egyptian and Algerian Legislation in the light of Islamic Law (Shari'a).
The study used the descriptive methodology to reach the targets in question.
To gather the required data, a review of literature was administered.
The study came to the conclusions that: first the Islamic Law stipulates that the presidential candidate must be a religiously committed Sunni Muslim; second, the Egyptian Constitution does not explicitly necessitate the presidential candidate to be Muslim.
In addition, the presidential candidate is neither required to be Sunni nor to be religiously committed; third, the Algerian Constitution explicitly necessitates the presidential candidate to be a religiously committed Muslim.
-.
The study recommended that the Egyptian Constitution ought to explicitly necessitate the presidential candidate to be a religiously committed Sunni Muslim.
It also recommended that the Algerian Constitution ought to necessitate the presidential candidate to be Sunni.
