Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the texts of the attributes mentioned to the common people and explained to them?
Answer:
Yes, the texts are read to them and the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is made clear to them. He says the Most Merciful; this contains mercy, and that Allah is Merciful to His servants; the Forgiver; this contains forgiveness. There is no doubt that this is beneficial for the common people and has a benefit for them. But do not enter into the details and the disagreement with the misguided sects; do not enter into this with the common people. Yes.
