When death approaches someone among you, and he is making a bequest, the testimony will take place in a way that two just men from among you will act as witnesses, or if you are travelling and the calamity of death overtakes you, then two just men from outside you should discharge this responsibility. [In the first case,] if you have any doubts [about it], detain them after the prayer.Then they should swear by God: \u201cWe will not accept any price for this testimony even if some kinsman offers it, neither will we hide this testimony of God. If we do this, then we would be among the sinners.\u201d (5:106)<\/p>\n<p>Here God has stated that if one has doubts about witnesses then\u00a0one can making them swear an oath after they have offered their ritual salah. In this way, they will be under the effect on a noble and sacred practice and hence would most probably give a honest testimony. Same can be done by placing the hand on the Qur&#8217;an. There is no problem with that in our opinion.<\/p>\n<p>But one cannot and must not swear by anything other than Allah.<\/p>\n<p>For details see the chapter on oaths and their atonement in Ustaz Ghamidi&#8217;s book Miz\u0101n.
