The ruling on applying the term "al-Mu'thir" (the Influencer) to Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for us to say that Allah the Exalted is al-Mu'thir (the Influencer), even though we believe that it is not among the names of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
He is al-Mu'thir. If it is in the sense of informing that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the One who created this thing and made it have an effect, if it is in the sense of informing, then the matter is easy. But that Allah is named al-Mu'thir, no.
