Is the testimony of a woman accepted if she sees the crescent moon?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: If a man does not see the crescent moon, but a woman does, is the sighting of a single woman sufficient?

Answer:
Yes, yes, the sighting of a single woman is accepted if she is of good character; her sighting is accepted. The jurists have explicitly stated this. Yes, Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions.
