The type of will in the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Allah only intends to remove from you the impurity"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the type of will in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet's] householdإِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
[Al-Ahzab 33:33]
Is the will here legislative or creative? Because some people say it is creative, and that anyone who claims descent from the Prophet’s household is purified and that all impurity has been removed from him.

Answer:
No, that is a mistake. The will here is legislative.
And Allah wants to lighten for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak.يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْ وَخُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا
[An-Nisa 4:28]
"And Allah wants to turn you in repentance" — this is a legislative will. Yes.
