The ruling on the Asha'irah's denial of seeing Allah in the Hereafter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than the Shaykh, do the Asha'irah and the Maturidiyyah deny seeing Allah the Exalted in the Hereafter?
Answer:
Yes. They do not deny it absolutely. I do not know about the Asha'irah and the Kalbites, but the Asha'irah say that He is seen, but not in a direction. They do not affirm the direction of elevation, nor do they affirm elevation for Allah. They say He is seen in a direction other than [a specific one], and this is impossible. Is there anything that is seen while being in a direction other than [a specific one]? This is impossible. This is a false, forced interpretation.
