Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the disagreement of the Zahiriyyah invalidate the consensus of the people of the Sunnah?
Answer:
It is not the case that their disagreement invalidates the consensus. They are from the people of the Sunnah. It is not said that they are not from the people of the Sunnah; they are from the people of the Sunnah. However, they hold the opinion of acting according to the apparent meaning of the texts and not affirming analogical reasoning (qiyas). They disagreed on this point, and their disagreement is not considered. But it is not said that they are not from the people of the Sunnah. Yes.
