Testimony in Vouching for a Prospective Groom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Does testimony cover all types of vouching, including vouching for a man when he wants to get married?
Answer:
Yes, it covers all types of vouching. Vouching for the sake of marriage is the most dangerous, because you may deceive the wife or the wife’s guardian if you testify that this man is good and that he is such-and-such. If he is not as you say, and you do not know him, do not testify. Yes.
