Question:
He says: My father has a commercial establishment and properties, and he has accounts for some people that are not recorded in the ledgers. He remembers some of them, but he does not remember others exactly. How can we document the account of someone who is claiming against my father and has no documents?
Answer:
If he has no documents and no witnesses, he has nothing. If he has no documents and no witnesses, it is not permissible for you to give him any of your father's money except upon proof.
