Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: There are those who say in these days that the disagreement on the issue of the names and attributes is not among the important matters, so whether one affirms an attribute or denies it, nothing results from that, and he gave examples.
Answer:
This is not unimportant. Is the one who says this the one for whom it is unimportant? No, these matters are among the most important of the important matters, because they are the core of the religion and the core of the creed. And this person is speaking of what he does not know, or he is deliberately seeking misguidance, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
