Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'sharia' denotes Islamic/religious law and 'law' denotes a legal system, so together they clearly refer to the system of Islamic law. Even if 'sharia' already implies 'law' (making the phrase tautological), the combination is compositional and would be understandable to a learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Sharia law comes from the Arabic word sharia meaning 'path' or 'way'. Because this 'path' was used to show how to live according to the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad, sharia law now means the system of rules based on Islamic teachings.
