Who are the Muʿtazilah? by Shaykh Muḥammad b. Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn

Shaykh Ibn Bāz mentions three types of khawf (fear) in his explanation of Thalāthat-ul-Uṣūl:

[1] Khawf al-Sirr (Secret (Supernatural) Fear)

[2] Khawf al-Asbāb al-Ḥissiyyah (Fear of Tangible Means)

[3] al-Khawf al-Ṭabīʿī (Natural Fear)

He defines the first as:

The second type of fear is the fear of something which is tangible and realistic such as the fear one has of an enemy. The devil, for instance, tries to cause the believers to fear his allies but Allāh has ordered us to ignore these flimsy attempts and to fear Him alone:

Natural fear is the fear which Allāh has put in us as a part of our nature. This includes, for instance, the fear of venomous creatures, predatory animals, criminals, murderers, the fear of hunger, thirst, cold weather etc. Taking precautions against these fears is not blameworthy.

Blameworthy fear is the fear which stops one from fulfilling an obligation towards Allāh.

Sh. Ibn Bāz states in his explanation of Thalāthat-ul-Uṣūl:

The Shaykh then discusses the concept of al-Shafāʿah (Intercession) and the conditions under which it is accepted by Allāh.

Allāh’s permission is required for any intercession to be heard by Him:

The intercessor can only be one with whom Allāh is pleased and has approved, and the one for whom the intercession is made must be a person of tawhid:

In addition to the āyah cited by Sh. Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Wahhāb in Thalāthat-ul-Uṣūl for the principle of al-Walāʾ and al-Barāʾ (Love, loyalty and allegiance to Allāh and hatred of and disassociation from disbelief and disbelievers), Sh. Ibn Bāz adds the following āyāt in his explanation of Thalāthat-ul-Uṣūl:
