Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the statement of Allah, the Exalted: ﴿أَوْآخَرَانِمِنْغَيْرِكُمْ﴾: When a person dies in a foreign land and there is no Muslim present there, if he appoints two witnesses from among the non-Muslims, then their testimony will be accepted. However, if later two Muslims come and testify against it, the testimony of the Muslims will be accepted and the testimony of the non-Muslims will be set aside.
