Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Allah has made the testimony of a woman half that of a man, and He has decreed this in His Book and through the tongue of His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. It is not permissible for anyone to equate what Allah has differentiated, making a woman's testimony like a man's. Whoever does so is sinful.
