Testifying in Favor of a Non-Jew
Question
He was on a bus with an Arab driver and saw an accident between the bus and a cyclist, and saw that the driver was not at fault. The Arab driver asks him to testify in his favor, should he give him his number?
Answer
Since he is not Jewish, there is no obligation or mitzvah to testify for him, but it is permitted not to testify in his favor.
