If a man sees someone committing zina and goes to the judge to testify, while he does not know that he must bring three other witnesses?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a man sees someone committing zina and comes to the judge and says, "I saw it," and he does not know that he must bring three with him, the judge says, "Either you bring three with you, or..." And he does not know the ruling, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Even if he did not know the ruling, this is a human right.

The questioner : He says, "If I had known that I had to bring three, I would not have come to testify."

The Shaykh : So we say, why are you rushing? Yes.
