Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: In the past Hajj, I found a young Muslim who held the Ash'ari belief and interpreted the attributes figuratively. When I discussed it with him, I found that he was defending the position of Jahm ibn Safwan. The question is: Are the Asha'irah considered among the Jahmiyyah?
Answer:
I do not think this person is an Ash'ari; he is a Jahmi. There are many Jahmiyyah nowadays. There are Jahmiyyah who say that the Qur'an is created, who follow the doctrine of the Jahmiyyah, and they are known and recognized in their lands and locations. Perhaps this person is one of the Jahmiyyah. Yes.
