Question:
Are the Murji'ah considered disbelievers? And is one who does not declare the non-prayer to be outside Islam considered a Murji'i?
Answer:
The Murji'ah are not all the same; the most extreme among them is al-Jahm ibn Safwan. His disbelief is such that many scholars did not limit their declaration of his disbelief to this specific doctrine, but rather declared him a disbeliever for many doctrines. Among those who declared him a disbeliever were the Asha'irah and the Hanafis. It is not permissible to declare him a disbeliever for this specific doctrine alone; yes, but it is said that this is an error and misguidance.
