Fariq Naik – Why is the Testimony of a Woman Worth Only Half that of a Man

The 15th most common question that is there in the minds of the non

Muslims is

that

why are two women witnesses equal to one man witness, indicating

that Islam degrades the woman?

Allah subhanaw taala talks about witnesses in no less than five

different places without mentioning the agenda, except for

one place in Surah Baqarah Chapter number two was number 282. Or you

believe when you deal in any financial transactions involving

future obligations, put down in writing and take two men

witnesses, but if you cannot find two men, then take one man and two

women. And Allah Samantha further continues and says that if one of

them us, the second will remind her.

So this was is only talking about financial transactions and nothing

else.

Let me give you an example for better understanding.

For example, if you want to undergo a surgery, and if you want

to take the advice, so you will take the advice of two qualified

surgeons.

But if you cannot find two qualified surgeons, so we'll take

the advice of one qualified surgeon and to MBBS doctor. So in

Islam, the financial burden it is put on the man a man has to take

care of the financial aspects. That is reason before marriage. It

is the duty of the Father and the brother to look after the lodging,

boarding clothing and other financial aspects of the woman and

after marriage. It is the duty of the husband and the son to look

after the lodging boarding clothing and other financial

aspects of a woman.

That is the reason a man is more aware of the financial aspects

and a woman need not look after the financial aspects. That is the

reason in Islam to women witnesses are equal to one man's witness.

And Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran and there are

several verses talking about witnesses without mentioning the

gender

Allah subhanaw taala says into the mind that Chaplain five was from

106 208

that if that approaches you put the world inheritance into writing

and pick two witnesses yeah the gender is not mentioned can either

be a male or female

for the last 100 says and today for last chapter I'm 65 was to

phase out Bella Angela Hoonah for um Seiko wouldn't be my roof in

our fabric gonna be my roof while I was away until the men come.

That when someone gives Tala a to witnesses, yeah the gender is not

mentioned. The person should be just the person should be honest

but the gender is not mentioned. It can either be male or female.

Allah subhanaw taala says to a node chapter 24 Worse than full.

Well let intermodal Massena to Mala Mia to be our battery,

shahada, fragility dooms Imani Nigella if anyone lays allegation

against the modesty of a woman produce for witnesses, otherwise

at lashes,

to your Allah subhanaw taala says that have to produce for

witnesses, if someone is allegation against the modesty of

a woman. And if you cannot produce for witnesses, then at lashes,

Allah subhanaw taala says incident nor chapter 24 verse, Psalm six,

that if someone lays allegation against the wife or the spouse,

and if he does not have any witnesses, when he should take the

oath by the name of Allah four times, and the fifth time

pronounce a curse on himself, if he's lying.

Further, Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah Noor, chapter 24, verse

number eight, that if anyone lays allegation against the husband or

the spouse, and if the wife does not have witnesses, then she

should take the oath by the name of Allah four times, and the fifth

time pronounced across on herself if she's lying.

So based upon this, in Islam, one female witness is equal to one

male witness. So the fuqaha Judas, they say that in most of the

cases, in Islam, one female witness is equal to one male

witness, except for the cases of financial transactions, where a

man is more aware of the financial aspects. And the Arabic word here

used is to see many people that translated as forget, but the

appropriate translation is to make a mistake. So if one of them makes

a mistake, the secondary corrector So based upon this the fuqaha the

Judas does say that one male witness is equal to one female

witness in Islam in all the cases except for the case of financial

transactions, and some fuqaha. They say in the case of murder,

because a woman she's too sensitive. Otherwise, in all the

other cases, one male witness is equal to one female witness in

Islam.

For example sighting of the moon

at the end during the month of Ramadan a male or female witnesses

accepted any witnesses accepted
