The Ruling on the Asha'irah Who Deny the Attributes of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the Asha'irah say that Allah does not speak with a voice or letters, and they deny the attributes of Allah and say that Allah is in every place, among other false beliefs of theirs, are they disbelievers on account of that?
Answer:
They are followers of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence) and practitioners of ta'wil (figurative interpretation). The term disbeliever is not applied to them, but the term misguidance is applied to them; they are called misguided, because they may be followers of taqlid, or they may be ignorant people who follow what they found others doing.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
