بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ فِي مِيرَاثِ الْوَلَدِ الْمُسْتَلْحَقِChapter of Judgement Regarding Inheritance of an Attributed Child
Hadith 1438Q3
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَإِنْ شَهِدَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا شَهِدَتْ بِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ لِفُلَانٍ عَلَى أَبِيهِ دَيْنًا. أُحْلِفَ صَاحِبُ الدَّيْنِ مَعَ شَهَادَةِ شَاهِدِهِ. وَأُعْطِيَ الْغَرِيمُ حَقَّهُ كُلَّهُ. وَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ. لِأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُ. وَيَكُونُ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الدَّيْنِ، مَعَ شَهَادَةِ شَاهِدِهِ، أَنْ يَحْلِفَ. وَيَأْخُذَ حَقَّهُ كُلَّهُ. فَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْلِفْ أَخَذَ مِنْ مِيرَاثِ الَّذِي أَقَرَّ لَهُ، قَدْرَ مَا يُصِيبُهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الدَّيْنِ. لِأَنَّهُ أَقَرَّ بِحَقِّهِ. وَأَنْكَرَ الْوَرَثَةُ. وَجَازَ عَلَيْهِ إِقْرَارُهُ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if even one man is a witness to the creditor’s debt, then after making him take an oath, the full debt will be paid to him from the estate. Because when one man is a witness and the claimant also takes an oath, the claim is established. However, if the creditor does not take an oath, then he will receive the debt only according to the share of the heir who acknowledges it.
