Question:
If one interprets the attributes, O Shaykh Salih, with an incorrect interpretation, what is the ruling?
Answer:
If the one who interprets them in a way other than their meanings knows their meanings, then there is no doubt in his disbelief. But if he does not know their meanings, then he has made a mistake. Why would he burden himself with something he has not reached in knowledge and that his knowledge has not reached? Yes.
