8. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has narrated the following
“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Testimony of women about the new moon is not acceptable. It is not acceptable in stoning with two men and four women but it is acceptable with three men and two women.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The testimony of women without men is acceptable in matters that cannot be witnessed by men who are not allowed to look at it and the testimony of a nurse is admissible about childbirth.’”
8- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الْهِلالِ وَلا تَجُوزُ فِي الرَّجْمِ شَهَادَةُ رَجُلَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِ نِسْوَةٍ وَتَجُوزُ فِي ذَلِكَ ثَلاثَةُ رِجَالٍ وَامْرَأَتَانِ وَقَالَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ وَحْدَهُنَّ بِلا رِجَالٍ فِي كُلِّ مَا لا يَجُوزُ لِلرِّجَالِ النَّظَرُ إِلَيْهِ وَتَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ الْقَابِلَةِ وَحْدَهَا فِي الْمَنْفُوسِ.
