Is one who denies an attribute of Allah considered a disbeliever, such as one who says that Allah is All-Hearing without hearing, or that Allah is in every place?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Is one who denies an attribute of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, considered a disbeliever, such as one who says that Allah is All-Hearing without hearing, or All-Seeing without sight, or that Allah is in every place?

Answer:
As for the one who says that Allah is in every place, there is no doubt in his disbelief; he is a disbeliever. As for the one who interprets the attributes, we have mentioned to you several times that if he is knowledgeable of the error, knowing that this statement is wrong, but he does not desist from it and does not abandon it, he is a disbeliever because he has no excuse. However, if he is following others in taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), if he is following others, he is excused. This is called being misguided, and he is excused; he is not declared a disbeliever. Rather, it is said that this is misguidance, because he is following others. Most of them are following one another in taqlid.
