The Ruling on Affirming That Allah Sits on the Throne
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: It is mentioned in some books of creed that Allah sits on the Throne. How authentic is this statement? What came in the Qur'an is that He rose above the Throne.
Answer:
So we affirm that He rose above the Throne; we affirm that He rose above the Throne. As for saying that He sits, this requires valid evidence. Or that He sits down—sitting or sitting down—this requires evidence. So what Allah has affirmed for Himself, we affirm, and what He has not affirmed, we do not say it regarding Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He).
