Murji'ah

The murji'ah are a sect. This is not a scholar so the scholar link is not appropriate. ZaydHammoudeh 04:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi there!

Deleted the reference to the sunni sect; Murji'ites were definitely NOT sunni. Both classical and modern sunni theologian sources denounce them as heretics, whom blood is legal to be spilled. Check for reference Kitab as-Sunnah of Ibn Hanbal where he gives a whole list of people who agreed with their classification as being heretics, but also countless of other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.85.50.221 (talk) 16:32, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

So essentially anyone who holds that "only God has the authority to judge who is a true Muslim and who is not" must be killed? Charming... Is the concept of simply disagreeing with one's coreligionists completely unthinkable?

Hey -

So Abu Hanifa seems to have been a Murji'ah. Christoper Melchret says he was "pretty certainly an adherent of the Murji'ah, as were some of his followers but they seem to have disappeared at about Ahmad [ibn Hanbal]'s time." (Melchert, 2006, 89). Additionally, the paragraph that argues he was not cites Fiqh al Akbar, which per Ramon Harvey was actually not written by Abu Hanifa. https://ramonharvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/mistaken-identity-ramon-harvey.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.83.144.249 (talk) 15:14, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
