Describing the Ash'ari as an innovator
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for me to say about a man from the Asha'irah that he is an innovator, or should I simply say that he is Ash'ari?
Answer:
He is an innovator in terms of creed, because religious innovations (bid'ah) occur in acts of worship and in creeds. So, the ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) group are innovators in creed. Yes.
