Question:
The nineteenth question: Do the general statements of the Salaf in declaring the individuals of the Jahmiyyah disbelievers, such as the declaration of al-Shafi'i, or the declaration of the Jahmiyyah—namely, Jahm ibn Safwan, Bishr al-Murisi, al-Nazzam, and Abu al-Hudhayl al-Allaf, as mentioned by Ibn Batta in *al-Ibada al-Sughra*—refer to the individuals of these people, or does it refer to declaring their statements disbelieving, not the individuals themselves?
Answer:
One who utters disbelief or commits an act of disbelief is declared a disbeliever in his own right. If he commits an act of disbelief or utters it, and he is not one who is excused due to ignorance, he is declared a disbeliever in his own right, and the ruling of disbelief is applied to him.
