The ruling on one who changes the names and attributes of Allah out of ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And regarding that other matter, may Allah guide you, the ignorant person who changes the names and attributes of Allah and asks how they are: is he a disbeliever, or is he excused due to his ignorance?

Answer:
This has already been answered. If he is a follower of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence) or ignorant, or if this is not expressed as his claim, he is mistaken. He is mistaken, but he is not declared a disbeliever. However, he may face some punishment, and this may happen to him. Allah knows best. He may be punished according to the measure of his sin and held accountable for this because he did not ask and because he did not learn from the people of knowledge and did not return to the people of knowledge. He may be punished for this reason and held accountable, but he is not ruled to be a disbeliever, one who has exited Islam, and one who will dwell in the Fire forever. He is not ruled to be in that state. Yes.
