The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: We have discussed the statement of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), and the reason for that is their belief that, in reality, there is no attribute indicated by these texts due to defective doubts.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is clear.
The questioner:
In whom did they participate with their brothers among the disbelievers? So what is meant by his statement "their brothers among the disbelievers"?
The Shaykh:
The philosophers. The philosophers from whom the scholars of logic took their rules are disbelievers. So the one who took from them becomes their brother because he adopted their approach and drank from their source. Yes.
