The Ruling on Likening the Attributes of Allah to the Attributes of Creation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Salaf (the earliest generations), may Allah have mercy on them, stated that the attributes of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, are to be affirmed without asking how an attribute is. Has there been found among the misguided sects any who asked how the attributes of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, are?
Answer:
Or those who ask how they are, who liken the attributes of the Creator to the attributes of creation. This is asking how an attribute is, comparing Allah to creation, likening Allah to creation. So this was found, yes, it was found among the sects, among those who do not distinguish between the attributes of the Creator and the attributes of creation. And this is an excess in affirmation.
