Tafsir of Ibn 'Atiyyah: What is your opinion of it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Malik: Our Shaykh, our brother Husayn has some questions regarding certain books. First, perhaps he means...
The questioner: Tafsir of Ibn 'Atiyyah.
Abu Malik: Because he is traveling tonight, today.
The questioner: Tafsir of Ibn 'Atiyyah: What is your opinion of it?
The Shaykh: By Allah, the truth is that I do not have an answer based on my study of the book. However, it is one of the references to which some famous exegetes, such as al-Qurtubi and others like him, return. But in some of the reviews or readings that have been granted to me in his book, the point is that I do not have a formed opinion from my study of the book, because I rarely returned to it. But within the limits of this small amount of review, I noticed that he sometimes leans toward the methodology of the Khalaf regarding the attributes. But it is obligatory, in my belief, for whoever hears my words to pay attention to my emphasis on the scarcity of my review, because this scarcity of review does not enable the reviewer to issue a ruling. For example, likeThe Shaykh : al-Shawkani, if the reviewer’s eye fell upon it once or twice, he might rule that he is a follower of the Khalaf because he has some figurative interpretations. But in general, he is a follower of the Salaf and one of the imams of the Salafis there in Yemen. Therefore, I say that I cannot issue a ruling as an answer to this question with these few studies or readings in which I reviewed this book. But perhaps if we understand what is meant by the question, there may be another perspective about which we can speak.
The questioner: I read today, I took the book, and it mentioned in the chapter on attributes that he does not disparage the one who affirms the attributes as intrinsic attributes other than the seven which...
The Shaykh: are with the Asha'irah.
The questioner: He only says that this is a statement from which one should turn away, but only, meaning he does not disparage with disparagement or cursing.
The Shaykh: Meaning, not like al-Saqaf.
The questioner: Or like many...
