Is it said that Allah is established above His Throne by contact, or without contact?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Do we say that Allah is established above His Throne by contact, or without contact?

Answer:
"Contact" is from you; it did not come in the Qur'an. Say:
He established Himself above the Throneاسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ
[As-Sajdah 32:4]
as befits His Majesty, Glorified and Exalted is He, and do not say "by contact" or "without contact." Yes, this is what came in the Qur'an. We do not attribute to Allah anything without knowledge except what Allah said or what His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So we affirm the establishment above the Throne in reality, as befits His Majesty, Glorified and Exalted is He.
