The Number of Swearers in the Qasamah and Their Conditions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s case: Do the relatives of the deceased who swear the fifty oaths have to be fifty people, or can one person swear all fifty oaths? And if the fifty from among the relatives of the deceased are required, are there conditions for them, such as being righteous, or the like?

Answer:
The claimants swear for fifty days. Even if the claimant is one person, he swears all fifty. If there are two, they divide the fifty between them. If there are three, they divide them according to their number. Yes.
