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

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it true, as some mention, that the Asha'irah are among the people of the Sunnah and the community, and that their errors are few and do not exclude them from this?

Answer:
No, they are not among the people of the Sunnah and the community. The Asha'irah are called the Asha'irah. Even if they are now called the Asha'irah of the people of the Sunnah, that is applied to the Asha'irah; this is a mistake. The people of the Sunnah are those who do not give a figurative interpretation (ta'wil) to the names and attributes, but rather affirm them as they came in their meanings, and they refer their modality to Allah. This is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community. The Asha'irah, on the contrary, give them a figurative interpretation (ta'wil) and veil them according to their own way. And they deny their reality for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
