Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are all the Hanbalis (may Allah have mercy on them) upon the correct belief of the Salaf?
Answer:
In general, yes, most of them, and praise be to Allah, are upon the correct belief. There may be some among them who were influenced by extraneous matters, such as Ibn al-Jawzi, where some things crept in to them. However, the majority of them, like Ibn 'Aqilah, also had some things that crept in, but the majority of the Hanbalis, and praise be to Allah, are distinguished by their adherence to the Book and the Sunnah according to the school of the Imam. Therefore, they are the least of the people to deviate in belief, and no one who has deviated is close to them. Yes.

May Allah reward you
