Abstract

Conflict of testimony are one type of conflict in the evidence that makes it difficult for judges to reach a verdict in criminal cases. It is important to examine the conflict between testimonies in the law and jurisprudence of Islamic countries. This research with a descriptive-analytical method and with a comparative approach, examines the ruling on conflicting testimonies in criminal law of Iran and Imamiyyah, and the laws of Muslim countries and Sunni jurisprudence. According to the research findings, the views of Imamiyyah and Sunni jurists are similar, despite minor differences. Firstly, they have accepted the solution of accumulation and then the solution of depletion but the preferred solution has not been considered. These two aforementioned solutions have also been accepted in the laws of Iran and Islamic countries. However, some legal systems, following jurisprudence, have legislated in detail the conflict between testimonies and others, without specific legislation, have stated that the correct approach is to follow the easiest religion.
