阿拉伯聯合酋長國宗教
伊斯蘭教是阿拉伯聯合酋長國所有酋長國的官方宗教,穆斯林佔阿聯酋74%的人口,主要的教派為遜尼派。[2]其他宗教包括基督宗教、佛教、印度教、猶太教和錫克教,信徒主要是阿聯酋的外籍人士。[3]
伊斯蘭教
阿聯酋遜尼派穆斯林比什葉派穆斯林多,伊斯瑪儀派(Ismaili Shias)和阿赫邁底亞穆斯林(Ahmadi Muslims)的人數較少。[2] 阿聯酋的司法制度源於大陸法系和伊斯蘭教法。法院系統由民事法庭和伊斯蘭教法庭組成。據「人權觀察組織」報導,阿聯酋的刑事和民事法院將伊斯蘭教法納入其刑法典和家庭法中,被視為是歧視婦女的法律。[4]阿聯酋的伊斯蘭教法擁有相當的權力。
如果犯了刑事罪行,如通姦,婚前性行為和飲酒,會受到鞭刑懲罰。[5][6][7][8][9]2007至2013年間,阿聯酋許多人被判處100下鞭刑。[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
在阿布扎比,有案例公開接吻而被判處80下鞭刑。[18]在阿布扎比和阿吉曼有幾個穆斯林因購買酒精飲料而被判80下鞭刑。[19][20] 2006年,一名愛沙尼亞人因醉酒而被判40下鞭刑。[21]有案例因非法性行為被判處60鞭刑。[22][23][24] [25]
根據阿聯酋的伊斯蘭法,婚前性行為會被判100下鞭刑。[26]在阿聯酋,石刑是一種法律上的懲罰。2006年,一名外籍人士因通姦罪被判死刑。[27]2009年至2013年間,有數人被判處石刑。[13][28][29]伊斯蘭教法規定了婚姻和子女監護等事項的家庭法。伊斯蘭教法的家庭法適用於穆斯林,有時也適用於非穆斯林。[30]非穆斯林僑民可以決定是否要伊斯蘭法對婚姻和子女監護權的裁決。[30] 伊斯蘭教法庭對家庭法案件擁有專屬管轄權,並對通姦,婚前性行為,搶劫和有關罪行等一些刑事案件具有管轄權。阿聯酋穆斯林公民叛教會被判處死刑。[31][32]
阿拉伯聯合酋長國在其「刑法典」中納入了伊斯蘭教法有組織的犯罪,而叛教是其中之一。[33]在公共場合接吻是觸犯法律的,並可能導致被驅逐出境。[34]同性戀在阿聯酋是非法的,會被判死罪。[35][36]
阿布扎比「刑法典」第80條規定,雞姦罪最高可判處14年監禁,「迪拜刑法」第177條對自願雞姦者判處10年監禁。[37]齋戒月期間,在太陽下山前公開進食,飲酒或吸煙是非法的行為[38],但孕婦和兒童不再此限。此法律適用於穆斯林和非穆斯林,[38]不遵守可能會遭到逮捕。[39]
基督宗教
阿聯酋的基督徒大都屬於新教或羅馬天主教,該國至少有33個基督教堂。[3]公立學校沒有基督宗教的宗教教育。[43]許多阿拉伯聯合酋長國的基督徒都是亞裔。[44]
猶太教
印度教、錫克教和耆那教
阿聯酋的印度教和耆那教為在阿聯酋居住的印度裔(信德人)所信仰。為了感謝印度商人對迪拜貿易港口的早期發展所作的貢獻,阿拉伯聯合大公國前副總統兼總理拉希德·本·賽義德·阿勒馬克圖姆(Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum)批准在杜拜 Bur Dubai區建造一座印度教寺廟,此外,迪拜也有錫克教寺廟。
佛教
在迪拜的加爾忽德區,有一座佛教寺廟。
