Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
May Allah guide you, O honorable Shaykh: Did Jahm ibn Safwan repent as al-Ash'ari did? And if he did repent, why is the sect of the Jahmiyyah attributed to him?

Answer:
What has been reported is that he did not repent, and may Allah protect us from that, so the Jahmiyyah are attributed to him.
