Matters in Which Women’s Testimony Is Accepted

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, please clarify the matter for us, please clarify the matter for us, please clarify the matters in which women’s testimony is not accepted. Is their testimony accepted in matters specific to women, such as the occurrence of menstruation, and the like?

Answer:
No, their testimony is not accepted except in specific issues, such as financial matters, based on the explicit text of the Noble Verse. Their testimony is not accepted on its own; it must be accompanied by men, so one man and two women. Likewise, the testimony of a wet nurse is also accepted, because this is an area of women’s expertise. Their testimony is also accepted regarding defects in women that only women can observe. Women’s testimony is accepted in such matters; in anything that only women can observe, their testimony is accepted. Yes.
