The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about the one who says that Allah is neither inside the world nor outside it, and that Allah is in every place, interpreting it in the manner of the Asha'irah?
The Shaykh:
What does this interpreter say? This is what only one who is deliberate would say, yes.
The questioner:
And Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The one who interprets or follows a scholar without knowing his evidence is not declared a disbeliever, but he is considered misguided; he is called misguided. As for the one who does not follow a scholar without knowing his evidence, and who is deliberate, he is declared a disbeliever, yes.
