Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a disbeliever wants to embrace Islam, is it obligatory for him to have two Muslims witness his Islam, or is one Muslim sufficient?
Answer:
He does not need witnesses; he pronounces the two testimonies of faith and enters Islam, and he is not in need of witnessing. However, from the perspective of legal proof only, there are procedures currently in place. This is from the perspective of legal proof, not from the perspective of the validity of his Islam. Yes.
