Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the past Hajj, I found a young Muslim who was Ash'ari in his creed and who interpreted the attributes figuratively. When I discussed it with him, I found that he was defending Jahm ibn Safwan. The question is: Are the Asha'irah considered among the Jahmiyyah?
Answer:
I do not think this person is Ash'ari; he is a Jahmi. There are many Jahmiyyah nowadays. There are Jahmiyyah who say that the Qur'an is created, who hold to the doctrine of Jahm, and they are known by their lands and their places. Perhaps Allah has brought them forth. Yes.
