RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGION AND CUSTOMS LAW IN TRADITIONAL KAZAKH SOCIETY.

The article deals with the relationship and features of the laws of religion and custom in the traditional Kazakh society. The authors emphasize the place and importance of oratory in the court of Kazakh biys (judges). The legal system of the Kazakh steppe, the level of execution of Sharia and its impact on the judicial system are considered. A comparative analysis is carried out between the Court of biys and the Court of Islamic law. The ways of truce, conversion, ways of satisfaction in Kazakh nation and qadai, rizai, sulh and taqim in Sharia and their usage in daily life and solving issues are compared. The election of the Khan and his abdication from the throne of the period of the Kazakh Khanate and the appointment of the Caliph and his ghazal are compared as well as the relationship between religious power and political power. Examples of religious or ethical rules are considered comparing, in particular hospitality, crime and punishment. The laws of customs and norms of Sharia in this traditional Kazakh society are studied in a comparable way. In conclusion, despite the immense space of the territory in the Kazakh steppe, some traditionally legal norms and rules (including even minor rules) in Kazakh society are the same in all regions of the Kazakh steppe.
