The statement of one who considers the Asha'irah to be among the people of the Sunnah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: There are those who say that the Asha'irah are among the people of the Sunnah.

Answer:
How can they be among the people of the Sunnah when they do not affirm the attributes? How can they be among the people of the Sunnah when their evidence comes from the science of theology and the science of logic, and they do not cite the correct evidence from the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? They are not among the people of the Sunnah. However, some scholars say that they are closer to the people of the Sunnah than the other sects; closer only, but otherwise they are not of them.
