What are the differences in the aqeedah of the Asharites and the Maturidiites?
Answer
Imaam of the Asharites is Abul Hasan Ashari (RA) and the Imaam of the Maturidites is Abu Mansoor Maaturidi (RA).
Both were adherents of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa`. There is no real difference in Aqeedah between the two. The differences are only in the different use of words and ways of interpretation.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
