The Ruling on a Book on the Issue of Faith

Question:
One of the authors who were refuted by the Permanent Committee on the issue of faith mentioned in one of his books that Your Eminence had retracted your refutation of him, and that the Committee had not truly understood his words, which is why they refuted him. His book is printed and in circulation. The question is: What is the truth of this claim, given that it has caused much confusion?

Answer:
This claim is a lie. It is a blatant lie. I have not retracted my position. I maintain that the book is erroneous. His words on the issue of faith are erroneous. I have not retracted that. But lying about these people is the easiest thing for them to do in order to sow doubt among the people. The decision issued by the Committee was not issued without the signatures of all members and the agreement of all members, and none of them has retracted it; because they do not rush, but rather they are deliberate in issuing rulings. So the book stands as it was issued: a book containing a major error, and it contains the doctrine of the Murji'ah. Yes.
