The Description of the Fifth Testimony in Li'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the one performing li'an limit himself in the fifth statement to saying "and"[An-Nur 24:7], or is it necessary for him to utter the testimony and then follow it with a curse upon himself?
Answer:
The fifth is a curse only. The first four are four testimonies. Allah did not say five testimonies; He did not say five testimonies; it is four,[An-Nur 24:7].
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the one performing li'an limit himself in the fifth statement to saying "and"
that the curse of Allah be upon him if he should be among the liars.
أَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَAnswer:
The fifth is a curse only. The first four are four testimonies. Allah did not say five testimonies; He did not say five testimonies; it is four,
And the fifth [oath will be] that the curse of Allah be upon him if he should be among the liars.
وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ
