Is it permissible for a man to place one leg over the other when sitting, or is this an attribute of the Lord, making it impermissible to do so?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person to lean back and place one leg over the other, or is this not permissible because it is reported in the hadith that it is an attribute of the Lord (Exalted and Majestic is He), and no one is allowed to possess it?

Answer:
The Lord places one leg over the other. Who said this? There is no harm in sitting and placing one leg over the other, stretching out one’s legs, and resting one’s hands. Who can prevent this? The obligatory requirement is only that he covers his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). As for the manner of sitting, he should sit in whatever position is easiest for him. Yes.
