Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is the doctrine of union and indwelling considered a matter of disbelief?
Answer:
There is no doubt. The one who says that Allah dwells in His creation, they say to me he is a disbeliever, there is no doubt. And the doctrine of union, the people of the unity of existence. The people of the unity of existence, like Ibn 'Arabi and his like. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is the most disbelieving of the people of the earth. They say Ibn 'Arabi is the most disbelieving of the people of the earth. And it is attributed to him that he said: I was among the soldiers of Iblis, so my state rose until Iblis became my soldier. Yes.
