Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one denies the names and attributes, does he become a disbeliever for that? If he does so intentionally, knowing the evidence, and opposes it out of his desire or out of fanaticism for his school of jurisprudence
Answer:
then he is a disbeliever. But if he is one who engages in figurative interpretation (ta'wil) and is not a follower of a scholar without knowing his evidence (mقلid), then he is not declared a disbeliever, but he is judged to be misguided until it is clarified to him.
The presenter:
Yes.
