Somewhere here you said Salafis are same as Sunni but astray but they say that Imam Ash'ary is not Muslim so can you kindly explain that?

Answer

Abul Hasan al-Ashari was an Imaam of Aqaaid (Ilm al-Kalaam). He deduced on the beliefs of the Ahlus sunnah Wal Jamaa in the light of the Qur'aan. Those that claim he was not a Muslim have erred and are responsible for the attribution of Kufr to a sincere believer.

They should support their claim with proofs and we shall answer them thereafter.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
