Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion of the book al-Ta'arifat by al-Jurjani? Are its creedal definitions in accordance with the methodology of the people of the Sunnah?
Answer:
The definitions he relies on are linguistic or technical. As for whether it contains the old shirk (associating partners with Allah), I have not actually read it, but I have excluded it. However, its definitions are either linguistic or technical; the scholars' technical usage of certain terms may contain some of the terminology of the Mu'tazilah or others. Yes, the book is generally beneficial. Yes.
