The questioner:
What is your opinion of what one who claims knowledge says, that Allah descends throughout the year?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to say this about Allah without knowledge. It is said that He descends every night when the last third of the night remains, every night. It is not said that He descends throughout the year. Where did you get this statement from?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I told you not to invent things on your own. What the Salaf of this Ummah and the imams of the people of the Sunnah and the community said is sufficient for you. Follow their path, follow their path, and that is sufficient for you. And Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do not innovate, for you have been given sufficient." Yes.
