The study aimed at evaluating the wife's nationality pre-requisite stipulated for the presidential candidate according to Egyptian and Algerian Legislations in the light of Islamic Law (Shari'a). The study used the descriptive methodology to reach the targets in question. To gather the required data, a review of literature was administered. The study came to the conclusions that: first the Islamic Law pays attention to the religion – not the nationality – of the presidential candidate's wife; second, unlike the Islamic Law, both the Egyptian and Algerian Constitutions pay attention to the nationality – not the religion - of the presidential candidate's wife, which breaks the Islamic teaching in this regard. The study recommended that the Egyptian and Algerian Constitutions ought to regard the religion – not the nationality - of the presidential candidate's wife.
