الموطأ 2121 — مالك: مما يفترق فيه القضاء: أن المرأتين تشهدان على استهلال الصبي، فيجب بذلك ميراثه، وليس مع المرأتين رجل ولا يمين، ولو شهدتا على درهم واحد لم تجز شهادتهما إلا أن يكون معهما شاهد أو يمين

Summary

Malik says: similar to this, in matters where judgment differs and where the Sunna has passed: two women testify to a baby's cry at birth, and so his inheritance is established, until he inherits, and his property belongs to those who would inherit from him if he dies as a child, though no man or oath accompanies the two women. This may apply to large sums of gold, silver, houses, orchards, slaves and other property. If two women testified to a single dirham, or less or more, their testimony would decide nothing and would not be admissible unless a witness or an oath accompanies it. 1
