That which is Acceptable of the Testimony of Women and that, which is not Acceptable
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قُلْنَا أَتَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ فِي الْحُدُودِ فَقَالَ فِي الْقَتْلِ وَحْدَهُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) كَانَ يَقُولُ لا يَبْطُلُ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj and Muhammad ibn Humran who has narrated the following: “We asked abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, if testimony of women is acceptable in penalty cases. He (the Imam) said, ‘Only in murder cases it is acceptable. ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali عليه السلام, would say, “The blood (life) of a Muslim cannot be invalidated.’””
