The ruling on one who dies upon the methodology of those who interpret the attributes

The questioner:
And the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) said regarding the matters of division and schism. Even if he died upon, what is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
He is not a disbeliever, but he is considered mistaken and misguided. I say, whether he is one who interprets or one who follows this school, because the prevailing school in the Islamic world today, and the one taught in the universities and led in the Islamic countries, is the creed of the Asha'irah. He believes this is the truth, so this is considered an excuse; he is excused for it, and he is not declared a disbeliever. However, this is considered misguidance and error, but it does not take him out of the circle of Islam. So long as he does not associate anything with Allah, and he does not commit an act that contradicts the reality of Islam. Yes.
