That which is Acceptable of the Testimony of Women and that, which is not Acceptable

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the testimony of women in the case of stoning. He (the Imam) said, ‘If there are three men and two women, but if there are two men and four women, stoning is not permissible.’”
