What is the validity of this statement that Allah is established above His Throne without contact?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the validity of this statement that Allah is established above His Throne without contact?

Answer:
O brothers, leave us alone with matters that have no need for investigation. We affirm the rising above the Throne for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) upon His Throne as it came in the Qur'an
The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.الرَّحْمَٰنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَىٰ
[Taha 20:5]
. As for contact or the absence of contact, no evidence has come regarding this in the Qur'an or the Sunnah, so we remain silent about it, just as Allah remained silent about it and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent about it. So we remain silent about it and do not investigate it.
So what is the reason for repeating this question in every session? Leave us alone with these matters. Creed is taken from the Book and the Sunnah, and nothing is added to what came in the Qur'an or the Sunnah. Whether the rising above the Throne is with contact or without contact, we leave this.
