The ruling on combining the affirmation of the attribute of the Hand with its meanings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it correct to combine affirming the attribute of the Hand for Allah with its meanings, and say that Allah has a Hand that indicates power, grace, and giving?

Answer:
No, no, we do not open the door to ta'wil (figurative interpretation). Allah has a real Hand befitting His majesty,

The presenter:
May Allah reward you

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is Sami asking. When Allah the Exalted commanded them more than once not to innovate anything on your own, but to follow the words of the Salaf (the earliest generations), for they are more knowledgeable and more wise than you, so do not invent things on your own or create terminology on your own.

Answer:
They have said it more than once: do not innovate anything on your own. Follow the words of the Salaf, for they are more knowledgeable and more wise than you. So do not invent matters on your own or establish conventions on your own.
