(155) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ احْتِمَالَ الشَّهَادَةِ بِصَدَقَةِ الْعَقَارِ جَائِزٌ لِلشُّهُودِ إِذَا عَلِمُوا الْعَقَارَ الْمُتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَحْدِيدٍ،155 Subchapter: Witnesses may testify to charity of land if they know it, even without exact details
Hadith Q2460
إِذِ الْعَقَارُ مَشْهُورٌ بِالْمُتَصَدِّقِ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَيْهِ مُسْتَغْنٍ بِشُهْرَتِهِ وَنِسْبَتِهِ إِلَى الْمُتَصَدِّقِ بِهِ عَنْ ذِكْرِ تَحْدِيدِهِ، وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَى إِبَاحَةِ الْحَاكِمِ احْتِمَالَ الشَّهَادَةِ إِذَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهَا.
This will be when the land is attributed to the person giving charity and its ownership is well-known as his; due to this attribution and fame, there will be no need for specification. And the evidence for this is that when the ruler is made a witness regarding such land, he can become a witness.
