Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are all the Hanbalis (may Allah have mercy on them) upon the correct belief of the Salaf?
Answer:
In general, yes, most of them, and praise be to Allah, are upon the correct belief. There may be some among them who were affected by the Mu'tazilah, as Ibn al-Jawzi was affected by some matters, and likewise in Ibn 'Aqil, some matters entered into his work, but generally the Hanbalis, and praise be to Allah, are distinguished; they held fast to the Book and the Sunnah according to the school of the Imam. They are the least of people in deviating in belief, except that the same movement is among them. Yes.

May Allah reward you
