Abstract:

 Abstract: 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.
