The Attribution of One Who Adopts the Belief of the Khalaf to the People of the Sunnah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man knows the belief of the Salaf, especially in the chapter of the Names and Attributes, and he transmits it with chains of narration. Nevertheless, he affirms the belief of the Khalaf, defends it, and holds it. Is it correct to attribute this man to the people of the Sunnah and the community?
Answer:
No. He is attributed to them. If he knows their school of thought and contradicts it, the matter is even more severe. If he contradicts it while knowing it, his sin is greater than that of the ignorant one who does not know.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
