Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it correct to say that every distorter is a denier of the divine attributes?
Answer:
No, that is not necessarily the case. Or rather, is every distorter a denier of the divine attributes? The one who denies the divine attributes is the one who negates the names of Allah and does not affirm them. That is the denier of the divine attributes. As for the distorter, he is the one who seeks to interpret a matter by interpreting the wording in a way other than its intended meaning. That is a distorter. Distortion is of two types: distortion of wording or distortion of meaning. Distortion of wording is when something is added to the wording or subtracted from it. As for distortion of meaning, the wording remains as it is, but its meaning is changed. Yes.
