The Ruling on One Who Begins with the Attributes of Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who begins to interpret an attribute in a way that has no basis in the language of the Arabs?
Answer:
His ruling is misguidance; this is misguidance. If he does it intentionally, he commits disbelief. But if he is following others in taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence) and transmitting the words of others, this is misguidance, so it does not reach the level of disbelief until it is clarified to him.
