Answered by Not Assigned

What is the position of the Ashari and Maturidi madhhabs of aqeedah on ta’weel of ayahs? Can one interpret ”yad” as power or should this interpretation be confined to times of fitnah (i.e. people interpreting this as ”hand”)? Did any of the four imams do ta’weel of ayahs of Quran?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
