Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is what Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) established in his book on faith, and what Ibn Abi al-'Izz followed him in regarding his commentary on the Tahawiyyah, namely that the disagreement between the people of the Sunnah and the community and the Murji'ah jurists is a verbal disagreement, is it attributable to religious innovation? I hope for a detailed explanation of this.
Answer:
Shaykh al-Islam did not establish this matter. He did not say that it is a verbal disagreement. They are lying about Shaykh al-Islam. It is not a verbal disagreement. The disagreement is real. They only said that these are the closest of the Murji'ah sects to the people of the Sunnah. They did not say that they are from the people of the Sunnah. That is, one hundred percent. They have some deviation. So the disagreement is not verbal.
As for the statement of Abu al-'Izz (may Allah have mercy on him). You know that Abu al-'Izz was a Hanafi. He was a Hanafi, and he erred in calling this a verbal disagreement; because he was influenced by the Hanafi school, so may Allah forgive him and pardon him, but this is an error.
