قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَأَمَّا مَنِ اعْتَرَفَ مِنْهُمْ. بِأَمْرٍ يَكُونُ غُرْمًا عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ. فَإِنَّ اعْتِرَافَهُ غَيْرُ جَائِزٍ عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if someone confesses to a fault for which the compensation must be paid by the master, then such a confession will not be considered valid.
