سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ فِي نِكَاحٍ أَوْ طَلَاقٍ أَوْ فِي رَجْمٍ قَالَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ فِيمَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الرِّجَالُ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ وَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُنَّ فِي النِّكَاحِ إِذَا كَانَ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ وَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُنَّ فِي حَدِّ الزِّنَى إِذَا كَانَ ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ وَ امْرَأَتَانِ وَ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ رَجُلَيْنِ وَ أَرْبَعِ نِسْوَةٍ فِي الزِّنَى وَ الرَّجْمِ وَ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُنَّ فِي الطَّلَاقِ وَ لَا فِي الدَّمِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, both together from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, saying to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Is the testimony of the women allowed regarding marriage, or divorce, or regarding stoning?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The testimony of the women is allowed regarding what the men are not able over that they look at it and there is no men with them; and the testimony of two of them (women) is allowed regarding the marriage when there was a man with them; and the testimony of two of them (women) is allowed regarding the legal penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the adulterer where there were three men and two women; but the testimony two men and four women is not allowed regarding the adultery, and the stoning; and their testimony is not allowed regarding the divorce, nor regarding the blood’.
