Is it permissible to deny Allah’s descent into the sky while affirming His descent to the lowest sky in the last third of the night?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it prescribed for us to deny Allah’s descent? Is it prescribed for us to deny the descent of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, into the sky, while He descends to the lowest sky in the last third of the night?

Answer:
My brother, we have told you not to ask about the manner (kayfiyyah). Affirm that Allah descends to the lowest sky, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
How does He descend? Leave that alone.كيف ينزل هذا اتركوه هذا
to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
