The common people’s question about the exaltation of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s issue is clarified: Is it obligatory for the common people to believe in the exaltation of Allah? Do you also ask them about Allah?
Answer:
First, you explain it to the common people and clarify it for them; do not surprise them with a question when they do not know. But you teach them and explain the creed to them. Once they understand and know it, you ask them for the purpose of testing whether they understood or did not understand. As for surprising a common person who has not studied before and does not know, and bringing him a question he does not understand, this is not permissible.
