What is the method of dealing with some of the scholars' errors in creed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Ibn Hajar, O Shaykh, and al-Nawawi, and many scholars, have ta'wil (figurative interpretation) and errors. Are they considered among the Asha'irah?
Depending on the interpretations, ta'wil is denied. If a person finds a scholar engaging in ta'wil, he does not follow him in that ta'wil. Every scholar has a slip and errors, so the student of knowledge follows the truth with evidence, and does not follow the slips of the scholars.
Q: There are some people, O Shaykh, who stipulate that if you mention Ibn Hajar or al-Nawawi, you must say "al-Ash'ari" after their name, so as not to mislead the people. What is the validity of this, O Shaykh?
A: No, this has no basis.
