The ruling on describing Allah’s hearing as being devoid of the limits of the hearing of created beings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is it permissible for me to say that Allah’s hearing has no limits like the hearing of a human being, or any other of the created beings, so that by doing so I have realized the names and attributes within myself?

Answer:
Say what Allah and His Messenger said. Say:
and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
Do not attribute limits to it, and do not attribute anything to it. Say: Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing, All-Hearing, All-Seeing, just as He has affirmed for Himself a hearing befitting His majesty and a sight befitting His majesty.
