Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. He said: This diagram, according to the Ash'ari school, suffers from the position of the Jabriyyah or the Qadariyyah.
Answer:
It is not considered to be from this or that, but rather it is considered an innovated position. It approximates the position of the people of the Sunnah that their actions are their actions, but it is not known that their actions are their kasb. Is there a difference between kasb and action? Yes, no, it is close to the madhhab of the people of the Sunnah. No, it is not from the Jahmiyyah, and no, it is not from the Mu'tazilah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
