Question:
The questioner: What is your opinion of the one who says that Allah the Exalted is in every place, and cites His saying:[Al-Hadid 57:4]
Answer:
This is the doctrine of pantheism (hulul). This is disbelief, and may Allah protect us from it. The one who does not purify Allah from being in every place, even in bathrooms and on tables—Glorified and Exalted is He above that in every place. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, informed us that He is in the sky and that He rose above the Throne. The proofs of His elevation are more than can be mentioned; al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi mentioned many of them in his book *Al-'Ulu* for Ali al-Ghaffar. So Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, is in the elevation and is not mixed with His creation, nor is He present in every place. But His knowledge—His knowledge is in every place. The knowledge of Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, is in every place. Yes.
