Question:
This questioner says: Is it true that the Shaykh al-Islam calls the Murji'ah of the jurists the Murji'ah of the people of the Sunnah?
Answer:
Yes, it is not only the Shaykh al-Islam; all the scholars call them the Murji'ah of the people of the Sunnah. The Hanafis call them the Murji'ah of the people of the Sunnah, because they exclude deeds from the definition of faith, and say that it is a condition for the validity of faith, and not part of faith itself. They differ from the people of the Sunnah on this point, otherwise they are from the people of the Sunnah. Yes.
