Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The questioner says: Recently, a statement has become widespread claiming that the Asha'irah and the Maturidiyyah are among the people of the Sunnah and the community. What is your comment on such a claim?

Answer:
When were they among the people of the Sunnah and the community, when they have been hostile to the people of the Sunnah and the community and have oppressed them throughout history? When were they among the people of the Sunnah and the community, when they say that "The Most Merciful rose above the Throne" means He took control of it, and they do not affirm the rising above the Throne? When were they among the people of the Sunnah and the community, when they say that the wording of the Qur'an is created, while its meaning is from Allah, and its wording is from the speech of the Messenger? These are the people of the Sunnah and the community.
