Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a group conspires to kill a person, and they confess that one of them is the one who directly carried out the killing, are they all to be killed, or only the one who directly carried it out? Is their statement accepted regarding one person?

Answer:
It is necessary to look into whether they are all actually participants or if some of them did not participate? It is required to examine this. So, if it is established for the judge that they are all participants in his killing, it is obligatory to kill them all.
