Is testimony valid if one witness testifies that the admission of slander occurred on Thursday and another testifies it occurred on Friday?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Mutual Imprecation (Li'an)
Primary text
The testimony is completed. The time of the admission is not a condition for the validity of testimony regarding the slander, nor is the language used. Therefore, the difference in timing does not affect the testimony, just as if the admission occurred at different times using different languages.
Supporting text
The dissenting view holds that the testimony is not completed because this constitutes testimony regarding two distinct acts of slander (one on Thursday and one on Friday), and complete testimony has not been established for either single act, similar to testimony regarding two separate marriage dates.
