The Divisions of the Murji'ah

Question:
I ask Allah for your well-being. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What are the divisions of the Murji'ah?

Answer:
The Murji'ah are divided into several groups. Some say that faith is merely speech, such as the Karramiyyah; speech with the tongue only, like the Karramiyyah. Some say that faith is merely belief in the heart, and they are the Asha'irah. Some say that faith is mere knowledge, even if one does not believe, which is the view of the Jahmiyyah, and this is the most evil view in the Murji'ah. Some say that faith is speech with the tongue and belief in the heart, and they do not include deeds, and this is the view of the Murji'ah among the jurists, who are the Hanafis. These are the divisions of the Murji'ah.
