لَا بَأْسَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ عَلَى إِقْرَارِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ لَيْسَتْ بِمُسْفِرَةٍ إِذَا عُرِفَتْ بِعَيْنِهَا أَوْ حَضَرَ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا فَأَمَّا إِنْ لَا تُعْرَفْ بِعَيْنِهَا وَ لَا يَحْضُرْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا فَلَا يَجُوزُ لِلشُّهُودِ أَنْ يَشْهَدُوا عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَى إِقْرَارِهَا دُونَ أَنْ تُسْفِرَ وَ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from his brother Ja’far Bin Isa Bin Yaqteen, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup> having said: ‘There is no problem with the testimony upon the confession of the woman, and it is not with an uncovered face, when she is recognised by her eyes, or there is present someone who recognises her. So if she cannot be recognised by her eyes, and there is none present who recognises her, so it is not allowable for the witnesses that they should testify upon her, and upon her confession, besides if she is covered and one looks at her (for identification)’.
