Writing and its meaning.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The fourth or the fifth. Fifth: Writing. Writing is when the one who owes a right writes down the right that is due to him. For example, he writes with his own hand that he owes so-and-so such-and-such an amount. And who takes it? Who takes this document?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, the student, the one seeking the right. However, this writing may not benefit a person if the writer is not known for his writing, and then he dies; the right of the one entitled to it is lost except by proof. Therefore, it is recommended that when you deal with a person in a transaction that is confirmed by writing, there should be an official authority that certifies this writing, such as a judge, for example, or the neighborhood head, or the governor, or any authority that certifies this right. Otherwise, it will be lost to you. Yes, read your questions, or otherwise.
