The ruling on describing Allah with stinginess in the context of installment payments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on the one who describes Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in the context of installment payments by saying, “Allah gave to some of His servants and withheld from others”? I seek refuge in Allah. This is stinginess. This is describing Allah with stinginess. This is like the Jews.
Answer:
This has a resemblance to the Jews. This is the statement of the Jews. It did not come in accordance with the fact that Allah withholds; rather, it came that Allah withholds and expands, gives and prevents. You say it that way; you do not say that He enriches and kills. This is not permissible.
