Question:
Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve you), how did the people of figurative interpretation (ta'wil) interpret the attribute of anger for Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
Answer:
They interpreted the attribute of anger as punishment, as the punishment from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and they denied of Allah the attribute that He becomes angry, that He is indignant, and that He detests. This is a false interpretation (ta'wil). It is obligatory to affirm the names and attributes of Allah in the manner befitting Him (Glorified and Exalted is He), without likening Allah to creation (tashbih) or comparing Allah to creation (tamthil), and without distortion of a text's meaning (tahrif) or denial of the divine attributes (ta'til). Yes.
