The Islamic Ruling on Concealing Testimony and Its Prohibition

Author: Dr. Muhammad Zia-ur-Rahman A‘zami (رحمه الله)

❖ Concealing Testimony​


Concealing testimony is not permissible in Islam. Whoever hides it is considered a sinner and disobedient, and it becomes obligatory upon him to repent.


Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) says:


«وَلَا يَأْبَ الشُّهَدَاءُ إِذَا مَا دُعُوا»

[Al-Baqarah: 282]
"Let not the witnesses refuse when they are called."



And He also says:


«وَلَا تَكْتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ ۚ وَمَن يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ آثِمٌ قَلْبُهُ»

[Al-Baqarah: 283]
"And do not conceal the testimony. Whoever conceals it – indeed, his heart is sinful, and Allah is All-Knowing of what you do."



[اللجنة الدائمة: 13646]
