The Quran also says in verse 2:282: "O you who believe! When you contract a debt for a fixed period, write it down. Let a scribe write it down in justice between you. Let not the scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so let him write. Let him (the debtor) who incurs the liability dictate, and he must fear Allah, his Lord, and diminish not anything of what he owes. But if the debtor is of poor understanding, or weak, or is unable himself to dictate, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her." This implies that the testimony of two women is equivalent to that of a man in financial matters, as women may not be as familiar with matters of finance and debt if they are mainly homemakers. The second woman’s role was mainly as an assistant, to remind the other of anything she may forget. Today, most scholars agree that if a woman has knowledge of finance, her testimony may be regarded as equal to that of a man in such a case.
