(1) How many witnesses for Hibanama/Wasiyat? (2) 1 man + 1 or 2 women?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My Questions are:
(1) How many persons are required to stand as a witness if a Hibanama or a Wasiyat is made in oral or in written form?
(2) In case 1 Man is there as a witness, then do we require 1 woman or 2 women to complete the minimum requirement of witness?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1668/1334/B=12/1434)

(1) It least two witnesses are necessary.
(2) If there is one man and two women, then the criteria of witness is complete and such a witness will be valid and effective; otherwise not.

Allah knows Best!
