Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the one who denies the descent of the Lord to the lowest heaven every night considered an apostate, because he denied the establishment of a matter that is mass-transmitted?
Answer:
As we told you in the rule, the one who denies the attributes of Allah while knowing them is a disbeliever. As for the one who denies based on following others without knowledge or based on his correct opinion, he is misguided and not a disbeliever; he is to be guided, and disbelief is averted from him by figurative interpretation or by following others. But the one who does this intentionally is a disbeliever without doubt. Yes.
