Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some of the Imams (may Allah have mercy on them), such as Imam al-Tabari and Ibn Hajar, have some ta'wil (figurative interpretation) regarding the Names and Attributes. Are they from the Asha'irah? And what is the position of the student of knowledge toward them?
Answer:
This is an accusation, and you have not mentioned any evidence for it. So, Ibn Jarir al-Tabari has ta'wil (figurative interpretation) in the creed, and indeed he is in it.
