Do the Asha'irah say that Allah is in every place?

Question : Shaykh, do the Asha'irah say that Allah is in every place, or is that the view of the Jahmiyyah and those similar to them only?

Answer : What I know of the Asha'iri school is that they do not say that Allah is in every place, but they say that Allah is not inside the world, nor outside it, nor above it, nor below it, nor equal to it, nor distinct from it, and so on. This is pure denial of the divine attributes (ta'til). Therefore,
Mahmud ibn Subuktaki (may Allah have mercy on him) said to Muhammad ibn Furok when he debated him on this issue: "What is the difference between what you attribute to Allah and non-existence?" Meaning, if you say that Allah is not above, not below, not on the right, not on the left, not connected, and not disconnected, it means He is non-existent.
This is what I know of the Asha'iri school, and it is possible that they have two views. Just as the Rafidah were initially among the anthropomorphists (tashbih), then they returned and became among the deniers of the divine attributes (ta'til).
