بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

5.107

فَاِنْ عُثِرَ عَلٰۤى اَنَّهُمَا اسْتَحَقَّاۤ اِثْمًا فَاٰخَرٰنِ یَقُوْمٰنِ مَقَامَهُمَا مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَحَقَّ عَلَیْهِمُ الْاَوْلَیٰنِ فَیُقْسِمٰنِ بِاللّٰهِ لَشَهَادَتُنَاۤ اَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهَادَتِهِمَا وَ مَا اعْتَدَیْنَاۤ ﳲ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(107)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

Then, if news is received that both witnesses have become guilty of sin ˹after false testimony˺, two others should stand in their place from those whose right was violated and are closer relations of the deceased. They should swear by Allah: “Indeed our testimony (our oath) is more truthful than their testimony, and we did not exceed the limit, (and if we transgress) then we will be among the oppressors.”[1]

Commentary

[1]

If the false testimony of the witnesses is proven, then the ruling is that two inheritors of the deceased come forward expressing an oath stating: “The two original witnesses are liars. Our oaths are more truthful than the testimony of these two. Moreover, we have not transgressed. And if we were to lie, then we would be of the unjust.”
