Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the one who says that Allah exists without a place, which is the statement of some Sufis? Does this lead to the limits of disbelief?
Answer:
Regarding the attribute of being above, this denies the attribute of being above. Allah is above the heavens, above the Throne, as He informed us about Himself. Allah informed us that He is in the height, so it is necessary to believe in this. Whoever denies this is not a believer in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The one who says that He is in every place, that He is present in every place, and that He has no place, is saying about Allah without knowledge. Yes.
