Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I am in the office of the notary public, and one of the people asks me to witness with him, and the seller says, "I sold this house to so-and-so," pointing to the buyer, and I have received my money, is it permissible for me to witness based on their words?
Answer:
No, you are only a notary, a notary public. Do not intervene in the matters of the clients; because you will become subject to suspicion. Yes.
