The Sufficient (Vol 7) · Hadith 611 (#Ḥadīth #11)

11- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَارِثِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ فِيمَا لا يَسْتَطِيعُ الرِّجَالُ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ وَيَشْهَدُوا عَلَيْهِ وَتَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُنَّ فِي النِّكَاحِ وَلا تَجُوزُ فِي الطَّلاقِ وَلا فِي الدَّمِ وَتَجُوزُ فِي حَدِّ الزِّنَى إِذَا كَانَ ثَلاثَةُ رِجَالٍ وَامْرَأَتَانِ وَلا تَجُوزُ إِذَا كَانَ رَجُلانِ وَأَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ وَلا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُنَّ فِي الرَّجْمِ.

11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Ibrahim al-Harithiy who has narrated the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah , saying, ‘Testimony of women is acceptable in matters where men cannot witness and look to bear witness thereof. Testimony of women is acceptable about marriage but not about divorce or blood (life) and it is acceptable about the penalty for fornication if there are three men and two women but not if there are two men and four women and their testimony about stoning is not acceptable.’”
