What is the meaning of applying the term Ash'ari to one who distorts the attributes?

Question : He says: We have mentioned in our tafsir (exegesis) that it is not correct to apply the term Christian to a Nasrani (Christian), because Isa (Jesus) is innocent of it. So how do you apply the term Ash'ari to one who distorts the attributes? And Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari has returned from this madhhab (school of thought).

Answer : Yes, this is a term agreed upon by the scholars and is well known. They say that when Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari transitioned from the madhhab of the Mu'tazilah to the known madhhab of the Asha'irah, a group of people accompanied him and spread his madhhab. So the meaning of Ash'ari is those who affiliate themselves to this opinion of al-Ash'ari.
