Summary
Malik said: the matter agreed among us regarding the confessions of slaves: if one of them confesses against himself to something for which the prescribed punishment or the penalty falls on his body, his confession is valid against him, and he is not suspected of bringing this on himself. As for one of them who confesses to something which would be a debt on his master, his confession is not valid against his master. 1
