2802 The ruling on giving testimony if it results in harm

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: regarding a father testifying for his son, or vice versa, if it leads to great harms such as severing ties and estrangement, should he testify if the harm is greater? It does not harm the scribe or the witness. It has passed you that if the witness suffers harm from giving testimony, it is not obligatory for him to do so.

Answer:
In order to avert the harm.
