The questioner:
He asks: Does diverting a word from its apparent meaning for a valid indication fall within the meanings of ta'wil?
The Shaykh:
This is tafsir. Diverting a word from its apparent meaning for evidence indicating that is tafsir. It indicates in tafsir, yes.
The questioner:
And this questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Diverting a word from its apparent meaning without evidence is false ta'wil, such as the ta'wil of the attributes by the Asha'irah, the Jahmiyyah, and the Mu'tazilah. This is false ta'wil, diverting them from their apparent meaning without evidence indicating that. This is misguidance, may Allah protect us from it.
