'das Recht' and 'die Scharia' can both mean a system of rules by which people live or according to which legal questions are judged. However, 'das Recht' is a general word for a system of laws and rules, for example in a state or as a field of study. 'die Scharia' is a specific religious law in Islam. It is based on religious sources and concerns many areas of life. The words can be confused when speaking generally about rules or laws. 'die Scharia' only fits when this specific Islamic religious law is meant.
