Are those who deny the attributes on the same level?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Do those who deny the attributes deny all the attributes... that Allah has no attributes, or do they deny the attributes...?
The Shaykh : No, they are of two types. Some deny all the attributes, like the Jahmiyyah, who deny all the attributes. Others deny some of the attributes, indeed most of the attributes, and affirm only specific attributes. For example, the Asha'irah affirm only seven of the attributes of Allah, and the rest, meaning the attributes of Allah the Exalted that are innumerable, they deny them. They deny all the descriptive attributes, all the descriptive attributes, and all the voluntary action attributes.
