Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask some of the brothers after the afternoon lesson: Are the Mu'tazilah disbelievers, and are the Asha'irah disbelievers?
Answer:
The Mu'tazilah and the Jahmiyyah are disbelievers. As for the Asha'irah, their case is subject to consideration, because they gave figurative interpretation (ta'wil) to some texts. They have a doubt (shubhah) in their interpretation of some of the attributes, and so do some others who fell into interpretation. Because of this doubt, there is consideration regarding declaring them disbelievers. Yes.
