The ruling on combining the affirmation of the attribute of the Hand with its meanings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it correct to combine the affirmation of the attribute of the Hand, the affirmation of the attribute of the Hand for Allah the Exalted, with its meanings, so that we say Allah has a Hand, and that it indicates power, grace, and giving?
Answer:
No, we do not open the door to ta'wil (figurative interpretation). Allah has a real Hand befitting His majesty. As for grace and giving, those are other things; those are other things that are not the meaning of the Hand. Yes.
