Is one who holds some of the beliefs of the Jahmiyyah called a Jahmi?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: You stated that the Jahmiyyah committed disbelief by virtue of the totality of these matters they believed in. So do we understand from this, Honorable Shaykh, that none of them is declared a disbeliever unless all these matters are present in him?

Answer:
Yes. If he holds some of them, he is called a Jahmi; it is said that he has some of the Jahmiyyah’s beliefs. If what he holds entails disbelief, he is declared a disbeliever, even if it is only a part, such as the claim that the Qur’an is created. This is disbelief. The doctrines of the Jahmiyyah include some that are explicit disbelief and some that are less than that. So not everyone who holds something of the Jahmiyyah’s doctrine is a disbeliever, unless what he holds entails disbelief, in which case he is declared a disbeliever. But as for the one in whom the doctrines of the Jahmiyyah are all present, there is no doubt about his disbelief. Yes.
