Is narration like testimony in the case of a woman?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What if we applied the analogy of a woman in the chapter of narration to the chapter of testimony?
The Shaykh : No, narration is a religious report through which one worships Allah, so she does not testify with it against anyone to establish a right or deny a right, and therefore it is accepted. For this reason, if a woman informs you that the sun has set, it is permissible for you to break your fast based on her statement, and if she informs you of the qiblah, it is permissible for you to follow her statement, provided you trust her.
