My question is concerning the onslaughts of the Salafis against the Ashari madhhab...I was wondering if you could read this rebuttal by Sheikh Nuh Keller and confirm or add to it
Question
I have read a rebuttal of their position that Imam Ashari, after having left the Mutazilites, created a new creed that was a mix of Mutazili and Sunni doctrine. The Salafis say he refuted this new creed by writing the Ibana, but this rebuttal says the Ibana was one of his earlier books, not his last. I was wondering if you could read this rebuttal by Sheikh Nuh Keller and confirm or add to it. It is at the following site: http://66.34.131.5/ISLAM/nuh/masudq2.htm
Answer
We concur with the article.
Unfortunately, time does not allow us to go into further detail and add to the article.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
