The ruling on the statement that no place contains Allah

Question:
What is the ruling on someone saying that Allah is not contained in a place?

Answer:
That Allah is not contained in a place, meaning that no place encompasses Him, is correct in meaning, but incorrect in wording, because this specific phrasing is not found in the texts and is not established. However, the meaning that no place encompasses Him or contains Him is correct. The wording is incorrect because it is not found in the sources, provided that this is what the speaker intends. If, however, the intention is to deny Allah’s elevation, then it is invalid in both wording and meaning. If the intention is to deny elevation, it is invalid in both wording and meaning. But if one affirms elevation while denying that Allah is inside any of His creations, the meaning is correct in this case: that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is not contained by any of His creations, for He is greater than that, greater than that, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and all of creation is insignificant compared to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
