Is the testimony of a master for his slave accepted?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Testimonies
Primary text
The testimony of a master for his slave is not accepted because the slave's wealth belongs to the master; thus, his testimony on the slave's behalf is a testimony for himself. The Prophet, peace be upon him, stated that if a slave is sold and possesses wealth, that wealth belongs to the seller unless the buyer stipulates otherwise. There is no known disagreement on this point.
