WAHABISM AND MONOTHEISM

Wahabist committee of issuing verdicts, part 3 page 136; Question 12 Verdict 4264:

Q. Some claim An­Nawawi's resting upon Asharism in questions regarding the divine names and attributes. Is this true? What is your proof? Is it acceptable to provide such questions regarding scholars? Some claimed that in his book titled 'Bustanul­Arifin', An-Nawawi proves his being Sufi. To which extent is this claim true? 

A. Regarding the divine attributes, An­Nawawi had a number of errors in which he rested upon course of the interpreters. Hence, he is disregardable in this affair. It is obligatory to adhere to sayings of Ahlus-Sunna 13 concerning confirming the divine names and attributes mentioned in the Holy Quran and the infallible authentic traditions of the Prophet. It is also obligatory to believe in such names and attributes in a way becoming to Allah, the Exalted, passing over distortion, denudation, modification or representation. Hence, it is imperative to apply God's saying, (Nothing is like a likeness of Him; and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.), and the like.
