The ruling on the one who says that an attribute of Allah is created
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks about Shaykh Abu Hatim, may Allah preserve him, saying that the Exalted created Allah.
The Shaykh:
I seek refuge in Allah. This is disbelief (kufr). The attributes of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) are attached to His essence. His essence is not created, and likewise His attributes are not created. So whoever says that an attribute of Allah is created is a disbeliever.
The questioner:
I found Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Mihnah.
The Shaykh:
Because the attribute follows the one who possesses it. Yes.
