Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'Islamic' specifies the religion (connected to Islam) and 'law' denotes a system of rules, so together they denote the legal system based on Islam. This ADJ+N pattern for naming religion-specific legal or normative systems is regular and cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Islamic law comes from rules written in the Qur'an, the holy book, and from the example of the Prophet Muhammad; literally it means the law of Islam, the rules that come from the religion. So, it means 'the system of laws and moral rules' that Muslim communities follow.
