Question:
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. The Shaykh al-Islam mentioned that the term "body" (jism) appears in the Qur'an, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Munafiqun 63:4] and His saying: [Al-Baqarah 2:247]. Did the Shaykh al-Islam deny the application of the term "body" to Allah in the Qur'an, or what is the case?
Answer:
Applying the term "body" to the created is mentioned in the Qur'an, but applying it to Allah and purifying Allah from having a body is what is not in the Qur'an. It is not in the Qur'an that Allah is purified from having a body. Yes.
