The questioner : Some people attribute tafwid to the people of the Sunnah and say that they ...?
The Shaykh : No, no, this is a mistake. Tafwid, as Shaykh al-Islam said, is what opened the door to atheism and disbelief. For this reason, it is considered one of the worst statements of the people of innovation. Because the atheists say, "You say, 'We do not know,' and we say such and such. So you cannot claim that you have contradicted the text, because you yourselves do not know what the text means." And one who does not know the meaning of something cannot claim that that thing contradicts him. Then they also say, "You cannot refute us because you do not know the meaning of the texts."
Then we are wiser than you, because we are people of knowledge, people of knowledge and understanding, while you say, "We do not know." So you have declared yourselves ignorant.
