Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Are the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah to be declared disbelievers in an absolute sense?
Answer:
No, they are not called disbelievers; they are called misguided, and they are not disbelievers. Among the Jahmiyyah, some scholars declared them disbelievers. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim says in his *al-Nuniyyah*: "And seventy scholars in ten lands have donned their disbelief." Some scholars declared the Jahmiyyah to be disbelievers.
