Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a main difference between the Mu'tazilah and the Jahmiyyah?
Answer:
The Jahmiyyah are more severe; the Jahmiyyah are more severe, and may Allah protect us from that, because the Jahmiyyah deny the names and attributes. As for the Mu'tazilah, they affirm the names and deny the attributes. They affirm abstract names that have no meanings, because they are unable to deny what is in the Book and in the Qur'an; they are unable to deny it, but they interpreted it figuratively and distorted it. So they are less severe than the Jahmiyyah. Yes.
