The ruling on attributing creation to the servant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You look at the auction; is it permissible to say that so-and-so created this door? Yes, or yes?
Answer:
It is permissible, because creation can be attributed to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and this is absolute creation. It can also be attributed to the servant. [Allah] said, "And you fabricate lies," and He said, "And you fabricate lies." Creation in the language is estimation. So Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) estimates things, and the created being also has an estimation of matters, a testing of matters, and a weighing according to his capacity.
