Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is meant by the Murji'ah of the jurists? And are they from the people of the Sunnah?

Answer:
Yes, the Murji'ah of the jurists are the people of Kufah, the jurists of Kufah, or some of the jurists of Kufah. Among them are the Hanafis. The Hanafis are from the people of the Sunnah, but in this issue, in this issue, they differed from the people of the Sunnah. Otherwise, they affirm tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes) and establish this, and they affirm qadar (divine decree) and establish it. So their creed is the creed of the people of the Sunnah. But in this particular detail, they differed from the people of the Sunnah, so they were called the Murji'ah of the jurists or the Murji'ah of the people of the Sunnah. Because the Mu'tazilah and the Jahmiyyah are not from the people of the Sunnah.
