A teacher of Qur'an memorization referring to her hearing and sight when reciting the verse of hearing and sight

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you? This is a questioner who says: It is mentioned in a hadith regarding the affirmation of hearing and sight for Allah the Exalted that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to his hearing and sight when he recited the verse. So, is it permissible for a Quran memorization teacher who is listening to her students to do the same?

Answer:
No, because that is not what they are. But she should tell them that this is real hearing and real sight. This is not the metaphorical interpretation spoken of by the ta'wil (figurative interpretation) proponents and those who deny the attributes; rather, it is real hearing and real sight. This is sufficient. Yes.
