Women are indeed allowed to be witnesses. In criminal and financial cases, the Quran specifies that two female witnesses are required, whereas only one male witness is needed. The wisdom understood from this divine instruction is that historically, women were less involved in these areas of life compared to men. This does not imply any deficiency on the part of women but rather serves to ensure that justice is served accurately. The additional witness helps prevent mistakes, considering that women may have been less familiar with these areas, making errors more likely.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327c8","tag":"Women: Other","count":52},{"_id":"676abcca631b2ecff5b5cb42","tag":"Witnesses","count":1}],"createdOn":"2024-12-24T13:53:14.048Z"}
