Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion of the Book of Definitions by al-Burjani? And are his creedal definitions in accordance with the methodology of the people of the Sunnah?
Answer:
It relies on definitions of terms that are established, and it is linguistic, providing linguistic definitions. As for what concerns matters of creed, this is what I have actually read and completed, but his definitions are either polemical or terminological, based on the scholars' conventions regarding certain matters, which may contain some of the terminology of the Mu'tazilah or others. Yes. The book is beneficial in general. Yes.
