Question:
Does one who likens Allah to creation fall into shirk?
Answer:
How is Allah likened to creation? This is a general statement. Likening Allah to creation in worship constitutes shirk. Or, likening Allah to one of His attributes, or likening the attributes of Allah to the attributes of creation, saying "the face of Allah is like my face" and "His hand is like my hand," this is tashbih (likening Allah to creation) in the names and attributes. Yes.
