Are the Qadariyyah and the Mu'tazilah one sect or two?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Are the Qadariyyah and the Mu'tazilah one thing, or are they two sects?
The Shaykh:
The Mu'tazilah are Qadariyyah who deny [the decree], yes. What does he say?
The questioner:
He says, may Allah keep you safe: Are the Qadariyyah and the Mu'tazilah one thing?
The Shaykh:
The Qadariyyah are the Mu'tazilah. They are the Mu'tazilah who say that Allah did not decree the deeds of the servants, but rather that they are the ones who invented them and carried them out without that being preceded in Allah's decree. So they denied the decree, and therefore they are called the Qadariyyah. If someone is called a Qadari, he is a Mu'tazili. And the term Qadari may also be applied to the Jabri, who exaggerated in the doctrine of compulsion. Yes.
