Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A scholar stated that there is no dispute over terminology unless it leads to an error in understanding. Unless it leads to an error in understanding that may result in a defect in grasping or conceptualizing some of the issues of 'aqidah (creed). Does this apply to the one who says that the divisions of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) are more than three?
Answer:
I am not aware of this addition. What is well-known among the scholars, without any dispute over terminology, is [three]. As for this addition, I do not know who said it or where its source is.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
