Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion of the Book of Definitions by al-Jurjani? And are its creedal definitions in accordance with the methodology of the people of the Sunnah?
Answer:
It is considered to contain linguistic definitions, which are established and linguistic in nature, or terminological definitions. As for whether it contains anything regarding the creed, I have not actually read it in its entirety. However, its definitions are either linguistic or terminological, representing the scholars' terminology for certain matters. It may contain some of the terminology of the Mu'tazilah or others, but the book is generally beneficial.
