s 156

When a party to any proceeding accuses syahid for the adverse party as being not 'adil either before or after tazkiyah before the Judge gives his judgment by producing any fact which can prevent the admissibility of evidence, the Judge shall ask him to prove the fact.

Explanation -

Whenever a party to any proceeding proves that syahid is not ladil, the Judge shall reject the evidence of that syahid. If that party fails to prove it, the Judge shall proceed with the tazkiyah on the syahid if he has not done so and give his decision based on the evidence if he has conducted the tazkiyah al syuhud.
