(وَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى )فَإِنْ لَّمْ يَكُوْنَا رَجُلَيْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَّامْرَأَتَانِ( আল্লাহ তা‘আলার বাণীঃ যদি দু’জন পুরুষ না থাকে তবে একজন পুরুষ ও দু’জন স্ত্রীলোক (সাক্ষী হিসেবে নিয়োগ কর)। (সূরা আল-বাকারাহঃ ২৮২) ২৬৫৮. আবূ সা‘ঈদ খুদরী (রাঃ) সূত্রে নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নারীদের সাক্ষ্য কি পুরুষদের সাক্ষ্যের অর্ধেক নয়? উপস্থিতরা বলল, অবশ্যই অর্ধেক। তিনি বলেন, এটা নারীদের জ্ঞানের ত্রুটির কারণেই। (৩০৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৪৬৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
