Summary
Malik says: the sunna has been established for judging with an oath alongside one witness: the claimant swears with his witness and receives his right. If he refuses to swear, the defendant is made to swear; if he swears, that right falls from him; if he refuses to swear, the right is established against him for its claimant. 1
