Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you warned the students of knowledge at the beginning of the discussion not to say what the Salaf did not say. One of the students of knowledge affirmed that Allah has an attribute based on His saying, “Allah has taken away their light,” and said, “We affirm for Allah the attribute of taking away.” Is this included in what you warned against?
Answer:
That is his knowledge. This falls under the category of innovating something. No, not every action is taken as an attribute.
