The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says regarding the statement of 'Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him), who is from the people of the Sunnah, that istiwa' (rising above the Throne) upon the Throne is by limit. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
Istiwa' (rising above the Throne) upon the Throne. Yes.
The questioner:
That istiwa' (rising above the Throne) upon the Throne is by limit.
The Shaykh:
If by "limit" it is meant that it is in its true sense, istiwa' (rising above the Throne) in its true sense, then this is correct, yes. "By limit" means in its true sense, and it is not ta'wil (figurative interpretation) or a metaphorical istiwa' (rising above the Throne), yes. He is Ibn al-Mubarak, a great imam. If this is established from him, then he intends to refute those who spoke about istiwa' (rising above the Throne), yes.
