Are the Asha'irah among the people of the Sunnah and the community?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, are the Asha'irah among the people of the Sunnah and the community? Because I hear from time to time that they are referred to by the title "the people of the Sunnah and the community," even though most of the scholars of the Muslims are from them?

Answer:
When the term is used in its general sense, they are not among the people of the Sunnah and the community; because they contradict the people of the Sunnah and the community in many matters. They contradict them regarding the attributes, they contradict them regarding the term for faith; because they are of the Murji'ah sect regarding faith. They contradict them regarding the sources of reception; because they take their beliefs from the science of theology (kalam), the science of logic, and logical principles. So they contradict the Sunnah and the community. Therefore, the title "the people of the Sunnah and the community" is not applied to them. They are called the Asha'irah by this name, or, more correctly, the Kullabiyyah, because al-Ash'ari is innocent of them, so their attribution to him is incorrect, and they are actually on the methodology of the Kullabiyyah.
