Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Are the Mu’tazilah, who deny Allah’s knowledge, considered disbelievers because of this denial of knowledge?
Answer:
They are considered among the people of misguidance, not among the disbelievers; because they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they pray and fast. They are considered among the people of misguidance. Yes.
