Does Ibn 'Arabi commit disbelief, and do we assert that his destination is the Fire?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that whoever holds to the unity of existence has committed disbelief, and he cited Ibn 'Arabi as an example. As for Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, in his letter to the people of al-Qasim, he did not declare Ibn 'Arabi a disbeliever. The question is: does this man commit disbelief or not?

Answer:
It is said that this man's doctrine is disbelief and deviation. However, as for asserting that he ended his life with it and that he died upon it with certainty, we do not know that about him. We declare him a disbeliever based on what appears from him and what has become apparent from him, which is present in his books now, such as *Fusus al-Hikam* and *Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyyah*. His books are available now, and they contain the unity of existence, as do his poems. But this assertion is what, as we have repeated, no one can assert regarding Paradise or the Fire except with evidence from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. The Shaykh's intention is that he does not declare Ibn 'Arabi a disbeliever, nor does he assert his final state or his end. Yes.
