The ruling on considering the Mu'tazilah to be among the people of the Sunnah

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who says that the Mu'tazilah are among the people of the Sunnah, and is their disagreement in matters of Turkish origin taken into account?

Answer:
The Mu'tazilah are not among the people of the Sunnah. The Mu'tazilah are called "Mu'tazilah" because they withdrew from the people of the Sunnah and were named after that withdrawal. How can they be among the people of the Sunnah when they do not believe in the names of Allah as they are, nor in the attributes of Allah, but rather distort and interpret them figuratively? They do not believe in divine decree and destiny, and they say that the Qur'an is created. How can they be among the people of the Sunnah with these destructive beliefs? Are they not among the people of the Sunnah?
They are not among the people of the Sunnah. As we mentioned, taking fiqh from them is not done; rather, there are scholars from the people of the Sunnah, praise be to Allah, from whom one is content to take knowledge and from whom one learns. Knowledge is not taken from the Mu'tazilah. There are jurists and scholars among the people of the Sunnah from whom knowledge is taken, and Allah has not led us to the Mu'tazilah. Yes.
