Does one who claims affiliation with the Mu'tazilah become a disbeliever?

Question:
This questioner says: May Allah reward you. I heard the instructor at the college say that the Mu'tazilah do not have shirk (associating partners with Allah), unlike the Rafidah who made tawhid (the oneness of Allah) the very essence of shirk. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
The Mu'tazilah did not worship graves, trees, or stones like the grave-worshippers do. This is not mentioned about them. But they have ta'wil (figurative interpretation). Ta'wil of the names and attributes. Denial of the names and attributes. And this is misguidance. This is clear misguidance. And whoever among them intentionally does this becomes a disbeliever. As for the one who is a ta'wil practitioner or a follower of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), he is misguided. He is misguided. And it is not said that he is a disbeliever, because he is a follower of taqlid or a ta'wil practitioner. But whoever intentionally does this is a disbeliever. Yes.
