The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Who are the Mutakallimun and the philosophers? Is there a difference between them?
The Shaykh:
The Mutakallimun are the scholars of Kalam and the scholars of logic who abandoned deriving evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah and instead relied on the science of logic, premises, and conclusions. This is the science of Kalam.
The questioner:
And the philosophers.
The Shaykh:
The philosophers claim wisdom. Philosophy is wisdom. They claim wisdom, yes.
