Is there a difference between denying the attributes and negating the attributes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between denying the attributes and negating the attributes?

Answer:
It is negation; negation is denial. It is called denial because it is derived from "emptiness," which means stripping a thing of its characteristics. The root of "emptiness" is being void. They are called the Mu'attilah because they stripped Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, of His names and attributes. Yes.
