The Ruling on One Who Denies Rising Above the Throne, or the Actions, or the Exaltedness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if someone denies one of the three attributes—rising above the Throne, the actions, or the exaltedness—is that person considered an atheist, and do we declare them to have exited the religion?
Answer:
No, yes, I mean it leads to it; it leads to complete atheism. It is the beginning of atheism, a starting point for atheism, and it develops and results in complete atheism, as the poet mentioned to you (may Allah have mercy on him). It develops and reaches complete atheism. There is no longer any command or prohibition, no religion, or anything else. As long as you acknowledge your request, you are a believer, and command, prohibition, and religion are all supplementary matters for them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
