O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term,
write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice. Let no
scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let
the one who has the obligation dictate. And let him fear Allah, his Lord,
and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is
of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let
his guardian dictate in justice. And bring to witness two witnesses from
among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and
two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of the
women errs, then the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses
refuse when they are called upon. And do not be [too] weary to write it,
whether it is small or large, for its [specified] term. That is more just
in the sight of Allah and stronger as evidence and more likely to prevent
doubt between you, except when it is an immediate transaction which you
conduct among yourselves. For [then] there is no blame upon you if you do
not write it. And take witnesses when you conclude a contract. Let no
scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it is [grave]
disobedience in you. And fear Allah . And Allah teaches you. And Allah is
Knowing of all things.
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security
deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let
him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear
Allah, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it -
his heart is indeed sinful, and Allah is Knowing of what you do.
