Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling regarding the Mu'tazilah, the Jahmiyyah, and the Existentialists? Are they declared disbelievers, or what?
Answer:
The scholars say that whoever among them deliberately calls people to these schools of thought, knowing that they are false, is a disbeliever. As for whoever adopts them through figurative interpretation, believing them to be the truth, or through following a scholar he believes to be on the right path, he is considered misguided, and the description of disbelief is lifted from him due to the interpretation by ta'wil (figurative interpretation) and ignorant taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence). Yes, and most of them are like that; most of them are followers and not interpreters. Yes. As for their callers and their leaders, they are disbelievers, yes, because they knew the truth and rejected it. Yes.
