I know nothing about "Islamic law", but this paragraph from the Wikipedia article on Islamic law implies there is just such a differentiation:

"The rules of evidence in sharia courts also maintain a distinctive custom of prioritizing oral testimony. Witnesses, in a sharia court system, must be faithful, that is Muslim. Male Muslim witnesses are deemed more reliable than female Muslim witnesses, and non-Muslim witnesses considered unreliable and receive no priority in a sharia court. In civil cases in some countries, a Muslim woman witness is considered half the worth and reliability than a Muslim man witness. In criminal cases, women witnesses are unacceptable in stricter, traditional interpretations of sharia, such as those found in Hanbali madhhab"

Dubai: Running from unpaid debt in the UAE, even as far back as 10 years ago — whether intentional or not — can come back to haunt residents.

Philippine Consul-General Paul Raymund Cortes gave this warning to his compatriots after finding out that as many as 20 Filipinos had been detained due to unpaid debt in the first five months of the year. The Filipinos were former UAE residents who were travelling to and from Europe and other Gulf countries and were arrested while transiting through Dubai.

“The moment you fly via any airline that transits in the UAE or GCC country, you can get flagged by the Immigration. Your name is already in the system,” Cortes said.
