What is the validity of the claim that the Sufis believe in divine decree but do not adhere to the Shari'ah, while the Qadariyyah follow the Shari'ah but deny divine decree?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how valid is the claim that the Sufis believe in divine decree but do not adhere to the Shari'ah, while the Qadariyyah follow the Shari'ah but deny divine decree?

Answer:
The Mu'tazilah, I mean, the Mu'tazilah believe in the Shari'ah and deny divine decree. They say that a person obeys by his own choice and disobeys by his own choice, and that Allah has no decree that he will disobey or that he will obey. As for the Jahmiyyah and others, it is the opposite. The extreme Sufis are also the opposite: they believe in divine decree and exaggerate in it, and they nullify the Shari'ah. They say the Shari'ah has no benefit; since Allah has decreed these things, they must happen, and that is obedience. If we conform to the divine decree, we have obeyed Allah. They are mistaken in this. If Allah had willed, He would not have......this is what Iblis (may the curse of Allah be upon him) argued with. He said, "My Lord, because You led me astray." Did he not say, "Seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him," just as happened with Adam (peace be upon him)? He only argued with divine decree, so Allah cursed him. Yes.
