Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Do the people of Kalam who are mentioned in the books of the philosophers differ from the people of Kalam who believe that the speech of Allah is created?

Answer:
I do not know that the people of Kalam are mentioned in the books of the philosophers. Rather, the people of Kalam are the Jahmiyyah, the Mu'tazilah, the Asha'irah, and the Kalabiyah; they are the people of Kalam. Yes.
