Islamic laws (Shari'a) accept the only the
testimony of men in some cases, the testimony
of men and women in others, and solely the
testimony of women in other cases. The
majority of Muslim scholars exclude the
testimony of women from cases of adultery,
capital and corporal punishment (qisaas),
marriages, divorce, and guardianship. They
allow women to testify in matters related to
business and wealth. The school of Hanafiya
allows two female witnesses and one male
witness to testify in all matters, with the
exception of capital and corporal punishment
(qisaas), in which women are excluded.
Women can only testify in matters related to
birth, breastfeeding, and specific physical issues
relating to women. Famous Scholar ibni Qayim,
while mentioning the case of availability of only
one male witness said: whatever shows clear
and credible evidence is valid, and Allah and his
Prophet do not take away someone's rights
when it is proven by one means or another.
Fundamentally, whenever the case is proven by
the use of sound evidence, it is obligatory to
execute it and to support it
