Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, what is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the actions of servants, whether they are customs or acts of worship?
Answer:
The methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community is that the actions of servants are their own actions, which they performed by their own will, choice, and desire, and that they are the creation of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Allah created them in them, and they performed them by their own choice, will, and desire. This is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community. So they do not say that they are their actions independently, as the Qadariyyah say, nor do they say that they are compelled to them and have no will or choice, as the Jabriyyah say. Yes.
