فَدَلَّ بِمَا ذَكَرْنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْآيِ أَنَّ خَبَرَ الْفَاسِقِ سَاقِطٌ غَيْرُ مَقْبُولٍ، وَأَنَّ شَهَادَةَ غَيْرِ الْعَدْلِ مَرْدُودَةٌ
Translation: The verses show that an untrustworthy person’s report is not accepted as probative, and testimony from one lacking integrity is rejected.
“Not accepted” means that the report does not serve as reliable proof on its own; it is not a declaration that each word must be factually untrue. A serious reliability defect cannot be cured simply by the transmitter asserting that the report is authentic.
