I read in one of the tafsirs an interpretation of istiwaa', where the mufassir said that it is an allusion to dominance and control!

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I read in one of the tafsirs an interpretation of istiwaa'. The mufassir said that it is an allusion to dominance and control.

Answer:
This is from their school of kalam. This comes from the school of the Asha'irah and the Maturidiyyah, and it is a false statement. It is not an allusion to dominance and control, but rather it is a true istiwaa' befitting Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
