The ruling on pointing to the eyes when explaining the attributes of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: When a person wants to explain the attributes of Allah, he says to him, "Two eyes." Is it permissible for this speaker to point to his own eyes?

Answer:
If it is for the sake of explanation and clarification, there is nothing wrong with it. That is, two real eyes, and he points to them, two real eyes that befit His Majesty. There is nothing wrong with it.
