Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It is known that the people of the Sunnah affirm that Allah the Exalted has two hands. Is it part of their belief that the fingers of Allah the Exalted are in His hand?
Answer:
I tell you: do not enter into these matters. Affirm the texts as they came. The texts have come affirming the hands of Allah and affirming the fingers, as in the end of the Book of Tawhid (the oneness of Allah), where it states that Allah places the earth as soil on one finger, the trees on one finger, and so on, until it mentions five fingers. This is found at the end of the Book of Tawhid by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. So affirm the fingers for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
