Relaying the Rescue Worker's Will by the Civil Defense
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q51: If a person dies in my hands due to a fire accident, and before his death he made a will regarding several matters, but I did not pay attention to them because I was busy performing my duty, is it obligatory for me to inform his family of what I heard, especially if I fear making a mistake because I did not grasp what he said due to my preoccupation?
A51: If you have a firm grasp of what he said, inform them. If you do not have a firm grasp of it, and it concerns the rights of people and other matters depend on it, do not inform them; for testimony is not valid except with knowledge. Allah says:[Yusuf 12:81] , and testimony is not valid with lack of retention and forgetfulness.
A51: If you have a firm grasp of what he said, inform them. If you do not have a firm grasp of it, and it concerns the rights of people and other matters depend on it, do not inform them; for testimony is not valid except with knowledge. Allah says:
and we did not testify except to what we knew
وَمَا شَهِدْنَا إِلا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا
