Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I read an article by one of the writers in which he praises the Asha'irah and considers them to be the people of the Sunnah and the community. He mentioned that it is the precise scientific school of thought, and attributed this to some scholars such as al-Nawawi, Ibn Hajar, and Ibn Taymiyyah, specifically in his debate with al-Hindi al-Safadi in his collection of fatwas.
Answer:
The poet says: "And people have different schools of thought regarding what they love. This one loves the Ash'ari school and wants to praise them. He wants to praise them, but this is not correct. The Ash'ari school contains errors and misguidance in creed. So how can they be praised and said to be better than others, given the errors and contradictions they hold? Yes."
