A brother’s testimony for his brother and a father’s testimony for his son

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is a brother’s testimony accepted for his brother or his father?

Answer:
A brother’s testimony for his brother is accepted, but a son’s testimony for his father is not accepted, nor a father’s testimony for his son, whether for an ancestor or a descendant. As for his testimony for his brother, there is nothing wrong with that.
