concerned with (al-walayah wa al-baraah), cases of (hadd) punishments, cases in which they believe that the Ibadhis are infidels,171 and cases connected with the property of Muslims which they believe is lawful to be taken as spoils during wars between Muslims.172 It is reported from Abu al-Mu'thir that he said, "If they (non-Ibadhi Muslims) are in power, their testimony is admissible, but if we are in power their testimony must not be accepted."173

IV It is agreed among most of the Muslim scholars that the person who sees the new moon of the first of Ramadhan alone must fast. But if he saw the moon of the first of Shawaal alone, according to Malik b. Anas and Abu Hanifah, he must not break his fast. Ibadhi scholars, Shafi'i and Abu Bakr b. al-Mundhir held the opinion that he should break his fast, but Ibadhis stated that he must do that in secret, so that the Muslims will not be obliged to declare (baraah) from him.174

Careful examination of Ibadhi Jurisprudence may lead to further examples of this nature.
