The ruling on attributing the disagreement with the Murji'ah to a verbal disagreement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the validity of the claim that the disagreement with the Murji'ah of the jurists is a verbal disagreement, and what is the validity of attributing that to Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in his book on Faith?
The Shaykh:
This statement is incorrect. The disagreement between the people of the Sunnah and the Murji'ah is a real, substantive disagreement; it is a genuine disagreement, not a verbal one. Only those who want to downplay the matter and calm things down say this. Yes. But those who want to clarify the truth do not say this. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Sa'id did not say this. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah did not say this. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe, O Honorable Shaykh,
The questioner:
What is the meaning of al-Nazir's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement, "How is it major?"
The Shaykh:
Perhaps the one who says he contradicted Shaykh al-Islam snatched a word from the Shaykh's speech. You see. And. Yes. One night. Some of them declare major shirk. May Allah protect him from the salam. Or. It occurred to him, or he did not grasp the speech from beginning to end and understand the result and the context of the speech. He comes and takes a word and says, "The Shaykh said such and such."
