Is the testimony of a disbeliever accepted?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh! This questioner says: If a disbeliever is known for lying,

The Shaykh:
Known for lying, meaning he had a business with you?

The questioner:
If a disbeliever is known for lying, which is the common case with them, is his testimony accepted?

The Shaykh:
Against a Muslim, no. But the testimony of some of them against others is accepted. Yes.
