سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ شَهَادَةِ أَهْلِ الْمِلَلِ هَلْ تَجُوزُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِ مِلَّتِهِمْ فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ لَا يُوجَدَ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ غَيْرُهُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ غَيْرُهُمْ جَازَتْ شَهَادَتُهُمْ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَصْلُحُ ذَهَابُ حَقِّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَ لَا تَبْطُلُ وَصِيَّتُهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazzaz, from Zureys Al Kunasy who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about the testimony of the people of (other) religions, is it allowed upon a man from other than their religion?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, except that others cannot be found in that situation. So if others cannot be found, their testimonies are allowed regarding the bequest, because it is not correct for the right of a Muslim person to go away, and his bequest would not be invalidated’.
