Question:
Does the one who says that Allah is not seen in Paradise become a disbeliever?
Answer:
The vision is mass-transmitted. The vision is mass-transmitted. And whoever denies something that is mass-transmitted is a disbeliever. The hadiths regarding the vision are mass-transmitted. But the one who follows a scholar without knowing his evidence, the ignorant person, and the one who engages in figurative interpretation are excused due to ignorance and interpretation, and they are judged to be misguided, not disbelievers. As for the one who knows the transmitted hadiths, recognizes their authenticity, and denies them, he becomes a disbeliever by that, yes.
