Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to attribute an action to the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), such as saying, "What the will of Allah has gathered, no human hand can separate"?
Answer:
Actions are not attributed to the attributes of Allah; rather, they are attributed to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). They are attributed to the one described, not to the attribute. So do not say "The will of Allah willed," but rather say "Allah willed." Do not attribute it to the attribute, but attribute it to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes. And do not say "What the will of Allah gathered," but rather say "What Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) gathered." Yes.
