You need to examine your context (and provide it with your question)

You have not provided any context for the term in question.

The expression المحكمة الشرعية cannot automatically be assigned the meaning of "a court based on traditional Islamic law," although many such courts are so named. The expression المحكمة الشرعية by itself simply means "court of law," regardless of the applicable law. If, however, the document you are translating makes it plain that the expression refers to a court that is so designated because the applicable law is traditional Islamic law (الشريعة الإسلامية أو الشرع الإسلامي), then it would be correct to reflect this understanding in your translation. The word "Shari`a" (spelled variously) has been used frequently enough to be considered standard for this meaning.
