Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to point when we mention the attributes of Allah, for example, saying "the All-Seeing" and then the person points to the eyes, or "the All-Hearing" and he points to the ears, and so on?
Answer:
It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed in that instance, but this is not practiced by the scholars. A person should not engage in anything that risks likening Allah to creation. Yes.
