Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes in court I am asked to testify between a seller and a buyer regarding the purchase of a piece of land or a house, and I do not know them at all. Is it permissible for me to do so?
Answer:
If you do not know them, you should not take on this burden. Perhaps they are fabricating, and they are not lying. Yes.
