The Ruling on Affirming the Attributes of Allah According to the Asha'irah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the words of the poet (may Allah have mercy on him), “He has life, peace, sight, hearing, will, knowledge, and power,” are these not the same attributes that the Asha'irah affirmed? Does this imply...
Answer:
These are not attributes that the Asha'irah affirm; we deny them. If they affirm them, that is good; that is the truth. We do not reject the truth. If they affirm them, that is the truth, and we do not deny them on the basis that the Asha'irah affirmed them. They agree on this. If they affirm them, they are required to affirm the remaining attributes.
