Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the testimony of a disbeliever accepted in matters of lineage?
Answer:
No, two witnesses from among your men. The testimony of a disbeliever is not accepted except in one matter, as in the Qur'an regarding travel, concerning the will of a Muslim. If a Muslim wants to make a will and has no Muslim witnesses, and he has only Christians, he takes testimony from the Christians.[Al-Ma'idah 5:106].

إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ حِينَ الْوَصِيَّةِ اثْنَانِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ أَوْ آخَرَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ إِنْ أَنتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَصَابَتْكُم مُّصِيبَةُ الْمَوْتِ
