Question<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assalamualaikum, Is it right to say tafweed al kayfiyyah and tafweed al mana both are right? Like for attribute of hand, face etc some people do tafwid al mana they say its meaning is known to Allah only and some people who do tafwid al kayfiyyah say that its the meaning is the apparent meaning but the kayfiyaah is unknown?Also some people says that the meaning of attribute depends on context of the ayah<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also read that Mufti Taqi Usmani sb also says that both are right? Could you plz clarify?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are various schools of thought in Aqidah.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Salaf (early generations of Muslims) would practice Tafweedul Kayfiyyah. <\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In other words, they would affirm the beautiful names and sublime attributes of Allah, and acknowledge and believe in their meanings, but they leave the knowledge of how and in what manner it existed\/occurred to Allah Ta’ala. This conforms to the Madhab of the Atharis. E.g. they believe that Allah Ta\u2019ala rose upon his throne in a manner that befits his majesty. They understand the meaning of the word \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0648\u0627\u0621\/rose. But the manner of how Allah Ta’ala rose upon his Throne is only known to Allah. They are literalists and do not practice \u062a\u0623\u0648\u064a\u0644\/ interpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The khalaf (later generations) practice Tafweedul Ma\u2019naa.<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This means that they believe in the words of the holy texts, but leave the interpretation and meaning of the words up to Allah Ta’ala. Thus, the meaning of \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0648\u0627\u0621\/ rising upon the throne has an interpretation which is only known to Allah Ta’ala. Many of the Khalaf do not believe that Allah Ta’ala literally rose upon his throne since Allah Ta’ala does not resemble his creation in any way. There are multiple implicit definitions of the word \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0648\u0627\u0621. Again, instead of pondering, researching, and choosing a meaning, they leave the meaning of this word up to Allah Ta’ala. This conforms to the Madhab of the Asharis.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which opinion is correct?<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both madhabs are correct in the sense that they both confirm to the beliefs of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa\u2019ah. We do not consider the Aqidah of either madhab to be incorrect. This could have been what Mufti Taqi Saheb (May Allah Ta’ala preserve him) concluded. Hence, we do not declare followers of either madhab to be a disbeliever, blasphemer, nor an innovator. Most Athari scholars reject Tafweedul Ma\u2019naa. However the Asharis and Maturidis do not consider the opposing school of thought (tafweedul Kayfiyyah) to be illegitimate. Hence, most Ashari scholars do not oppose Atharis, even though Asharis believe their own opinion to be stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n
