Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah answer you. This questioner says: It is confusing to me the addition of the Murji'ah to the Sunnah and its people in the phrase "Murji'ah of the people of the Sunnah."
Answer:
It is not confusing. Their creed is the creed of the people of the Sunnah: faith in Allah and tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Their creed is the creed of the people of the Sunnah, but they erred in this specific issue only. Therefore, they are among the people of the Sunnah. This error of theirs does not exclude them from the people of the Sunnah, because they are with the people of the Sunnah in all chapters of creed. Yes.
