The ruling on the one who says that Allah is in every place
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the one who says that Allah is in every place, relying on His creation, considered a disbeliever? If that is merely proximity within Islam, is there no issue with the creation?
Answer:
Whoever says this is judged to be a disbeliever and is given the choice to repent. This is considered among the people of hulul (incarnation). The people of hulul are disbelievers. We have nothing but the apparent meaning. If he speaks like this, we give him the choice to repent; if he repents, well and good, otherwise he is executed. We have nothing but the apparent meaning, as for what is in his heart, only Allah knows it. Yes. How is it with him that he is one who distorts the meaning and is misguided? Yes.
