The Ruling on Affirming the Attribute of the Mouth for Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view of the one who says that Allah has the attribute of laughter, so we must affirm for Him the attribute of the mouth? Is his statement correct?
Answer:
This is an invalid statement, and it is also an injustice against Allah. We say: We affirm that Allah laughs without knowing how He laughs, yes. And He speaks without us saying how He speaks with a tongue and lips or teeth like the creation. This is a discussion of the modality. We affirm speech for Allah in a manner befitting Him and do not go beyond that. I warn you against this exaggeration. Do not go beyond the phrases of the Salaf and the phrases of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, yes.
