Is the attribute of personhood established for Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is the attribute of personhood established for Allah?

Answer:
He reports that Allah is a person, as in the hadith, so He is one person. However, to say that "person" is among the names of Allah, this is not the case; He is not a person. I say: How many times must we say this? Do not deviate from the methodology of the Salaf. Do not bring in new things. Follow the methodology of the Salaf: say what the Salaf said, and refrain from what they did not say. You have been provided for, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
