The Ruling on Declaring the Qadariyyah Disbelievers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Those among the Qadariyyah who affirmed knowledge but denied divine decree—are they not to be declared disbelievers? Because the hadith is explicit that belief in divine decree, its good and its evil, is one of the pillars of faith, and the wording is general, and it has been abrogated
Answer:
by what they did not deny. They were not declared disbelievers except by the extremists who deny knowledge; they declared them disbelievers. As for those who do not deny knowledge and the writing in the limited wording, they were considered misguided but not disbelievers, because they did not deny divorce and the entirety of divine decree, knowledge, and the four levels; they did not deny all of it. They affirmed knowledge and the writing, so they believe in divine decree in general, but they deny some of it. Yes. I ask Allah to reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
