Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one who compares the created to the Creator become a disbeliever by that comparison?
Answer:
If he knows this, he becomes a disbeliever. But if he is ignorant, it is explained to him that this is an invalid matter and not permissible. If he persists and does not comply, he is declared a disbeliever, because he equated Allah with His creation, thereby diminishing Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
