Question:
May Allah reward you. A man knows the belief of the Salaf, especially in the chapter of the names and attributes, and he is content with the phrasings, yet he affirms the belief of the Khalaf, defends it, and holds it. Is it correct to attribute this man to the people of the Sunnah and the community?
Answer:
No, he is not attributed to them. Even if he knows their school, if he opposes this, it is more severe. If he opposes it while knowing it, his sin is greater than that of the ignorant one who does not know.
