The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that some of the imams (may Allah have mercy on them) have certain interpretations (ta'wil) regarding the names and attributes, such as Imam al-Tabari and Ibn Hajar. Are they among the Asha'irah? And what is the position of the student of knowledge toward them?
The Shaykh:
This is an accusation, and you did not mention any evidence for it. Ibn Jarir al-Tabari has interpretation (ta'wil) in creed. And what is that in it?
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes.

May Allah reward you
