The ruling on saying "The power of Allah willed it" or "The destinies willed it"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is your view on the one who says, “The power of Allah willed it,” or “The destinies willed it”?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to attribute the action to the attribute. One says "Allah willed it" or "Allah decreed it." As for saying "The will of Allah willed it," this expression is incorrect, because its meaning is as if the attribute became something other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic), a separate thing.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
