Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view regarding one who says, “The power of Allah willed it,” or one who says, “The destinies willed it”?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to attribute an actual action to an attribute. One says, “Allah willed it,” or “If Allah wills,” or “Allah decreed it,” or “If Allah wills.” As for saying, “The will of Allah willed it,” is that correct? This expression is not correct. Yes, yes. It means, as if the attribute has become something other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic), a separate thing. Yes, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
