Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the creed of Ibn Sina? And did he die upon Islam or upon his atheism?

Answer:
Ibn Sina’s creed is Ismaili, as mentioned by the Shaykh al-Islam. The Shaykh al-Islam responded to him with many refutations of Ibn Sina, stating that he is an Ismaili and that his father was a Jew. His father was a Jew, and he converted to Islam, but he was upon the Ismaili path. As for what he died upon, Allah knows best; I do not know. Yes.
