Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: The one who says that the speech of Allah is ancient and eternal, and the will of Allah is ancient and eternal, is this a correct statement or an incorrect one?

Answer:
To state it in that absolute way is incorrect, but it is said: ancient in type, created in instances. The speech of Allah is ancient in type, created in instances. So Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, speaks when He wills, speaks when He wills. So His speech is created in type, created in instances, ancient in type. Yes.
