The Confession of the Perpetrator Regarding His Accomplice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: I committed a crime and confessed to it, and I said, So-and-so was my partner in it. Does this count as testimony against him?

Answer:
No, his confession is not accepted against anyone else. His confession is only valid against himself, and as for others, his confession is not accepted against them. Yes.
