The ruling on one who denies the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on the one who denies the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and what is the first of them?
Answer:
It differs. If he is one of the scholars who knew the truth but did not accept it out of stubbornness, then that is not sufficient [to excuse him]. But if he is one who follows others without knowledge or is ignorant, then he is considered misguided and is not declared a disbeliever until the truth is made clear to him. If it becomes clear to them, he should be patient with his disagreement. Yes. More than one man. There is a difference between the one who follows others without knowledge and the scholar who knows that this figurative interpretation is wrong and that the truth is not to interpret them figuratively. If he errs in this, he is declared a disbeliever.
