Summary/Abstract: The study of the ways and forms of functioning of the Sharia terminology in the Family Law texts of such Arab states as Morocco, Syria and Kuwait plays a pivotal role in researches of the lexical structure of the Arabic language of law, especially its Sharia segment. There is no doubt that studying the lexical design of the texts of the Arab Family Law influenced by Islamic law in various degrees, as well as, generally, the work with any texts of the Arab Sharia-originated Family Law, in particular, its lexico-stylistic analysis and translation, requires deep knowledge of the sublanguage of the Sharia and understanding not only the meanings of its conceptual apparatus, but also the semantic and notional connections between the terminological elements, which form the terminological system of Sharia law. The present study aims to develop more accurate and effective mechanisms for semantic and functional-stylistic analysis of certain lexical units of a terminological nature, which frequently and versatilely appear in the texts of the Family Law of Morocco, Syria and Kuwait.
