The Ruling on Ascribing a Mode to Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does negating a mode (kayfiyyah) imply its absolute negation regarding Allah, or does He possess a mode that His sons do not know, while creation does not know it?
Answer:
Ascribing a mode to Allah falls under the category of naming. No, this is what was not transmitted regarding the mode. However, reporting about Allah that He has a mode, this falls under the category of reporting. Reporting about Allah that He has a mode, and that He has an essence that does not resemble creation, this falls under the category of reporting, not the category of naming.
