The ruling on saying "Qadar willed it" or "The will willed it"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Therefore, he asks: What is the ruling on the one who says, "Qadar willed it," instead of saying, "I intended to do evil, but Qadar willed that I not do it"?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to attribute the action to the attribute, saying "Qadar willed it" or "The will of Allah willed it" or the like. Rather, one should say, "Allah willed it" or "Allah decreed it" (Glorified and Exalted is He). Actions are attributed to Allah, not to His attributes.
