Question:
What is the ruling on the one who says that a woman's testimony is equal to a man's?
Answer:
This is opposition to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. The ruling on this is that it is opposition to Allah. If he knows this and says it is not correct, he commits disbelief, because he is denying Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Yes, Allah says, "one man and two women," or he says, "No, a man and a woman; the woman is like the man," and the Qur'an is not correct. This is injustice to the woman. This is a disbeliever who has apostatized from the religion of Islam, because he is opposing Allah, His Messenger, and His Book.
