The Agreement on False Testimony at the Gates of the Courts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how should one deal with the agreement on false testimony for money that takes place at the gates of the courts, and does the judge have the right to reject the testimony of someone he knows to be among these people and from whom this is repeated?
Answer:
If this matter is proven, then advise the judges; tell them that you see such and such work being done at the gate of the court. But if it is merely rumors or merely speculation, do not speak of this; this is an accusation against Muslims and a casting of doubt on the rulings. However, if you are certain that someone is doing this, report it to the judges; report it to the head of the court. Yes.
