Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the claim of the Asha'irah that Allah is seen on the Day of Resurrection, but not seen in a place, is this statement correct?
Answer:
No, that statement is invalid. It is not the case that something is seen in a direction other than one, nor is it the case that what they say is seen is not in a direction. They affirm the seeing and deny the direction. This is a contradiction, because the one who is seen must necessarily be in a direction. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is in the direction of the Most High, without doubt. Yes.
