Do The Asharis Believe That the Apparent Meanings of the Quran are Kufr / Unbelief?

Shaykh Said Abd al-Latif Foudah in his Naqd al-Tadmuriyya states: When our scholars among the Ashars said that the apparent meanings of the texts mentioning certain ascriptionssuch as hand, eye, face, shin, and so onare not intended, they only meant the meanings that the anthropomorphists claimed were intended. The anthropomorphists claimed that the apparent meaning of eye is the well known body part, that the apparent meaning of hand is a physical limb, that face is that which is on the head and that contains two eyes, and that the shin is a body part. When the scholars of Ahl al-Sunna saw that the anthropomorphists were claiming that the Qurnic texts indicated these meanings and ascribed them to Allah, they refuted them and said: These apparent meanings are not intended because there are many semantical and circumstantial elements showing that they are not intended. What this means is that the meanings the anthropomorphists claimed to be the apparent indications of the texts are not the apparent meanings in the first place, because if they were truly the apparent meanings, the Divine texts would not mention semantical and circumstantial elements showing otherwise. The disagreement is with regard to these meanings that only befit bodies and creation. We do not submit to the anthropomorphists and corperalists that these are the apparent meanings ascribed to Allah when the Qurn is read. On the contrary, these meanings only seem apparent to the one whose soul is already deviated away from proper belief in Divine unity and transcendence and is unaware of the rhetorical and linguistic styles of expression found in the [Arabic] language. Linguistic principles clarify the correct meaning to those who look into the Qurn. The false meanings will not come to the mind of he who is aware of these principles and he will not call them apparent at all. This is why our scholars said to the anthropomorphists: We know that it is incorrect to ascribe corporeality [ jismyya ] and its implications such as limits and compositeness to Allah, the Exalted. Since saying that these things are the apparent meaning of the Divine texts is like saying that the apparent meanings of the Divine texts are unbeliefand this is impossibleit follows therefore that these meanings are not the apparent meanings of the texts. For that reason, it is a must that these verses be interpreted in a way that is different from these so called apparent meanings.
