Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is Muhyi al-Din ibn 'Arabi specifically declared a disbeliever? Because there are those who deny that his books are attributed to him?
Answer:
Ibn 'Arabi has the ecstatic utterances (shatihat) that you have heard, which are delusions, and the fact that he returned and ended his life with repentance—Allah knows best. We do not know what he died upon, but we are speaking about his misguidances and ecstatic utterances. As for what he ended with, that is in the knowledge of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Al-Baqa'i explained the creed in his commentary on the poem of Ibn al-Farid; he calls his commentary "Tanzih al-Ghabi 'ala Kufr Ibn 'Arabi" (The Clarification of the Fool Regarding the Disbelief of Ibn 'Arabi). Yes.
