Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on some people saying "O Face of Allah"?
Answer:
It is not permissible to address an attribute. One does not say "O Mercy of Allah," "O Face of Allah," or "O Hand of Allah." Rather, one says "O Allah" and supplicates to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), not to the attribute.
