Two legal queries (istiftā) about inheritance rights and the validity of indirect testimony. The first query concerns the confirmation of a woman's death. The religious authorities are asked whether the husband’s acknowledgement (iqrār) and the witnesses’ testimony, despite lacking direct observation, are sufficient to establish the wife’s death and permit her brother to release her inheritance. The response rules that the witnesses’ testimony is invalid. The second query concerns the validity of a testimony given by a claimant in a specific legal case. The response, written by Muḥammad b. Maḥmūd, rules that the claimant’s testimony is invalid.
