Allah’s statement, أَوِ الْوَلِدَيْنِ وَالاٌّقْرَبِينَ “or your parents, or your kin” means, even if you have to testify against your parents and kin, do not compromise for their sake. Rather, give the correct and just witness even if they are harmed in the process, for the truth presides above everyone and is preferred to everyone.
