The question regarding the manner of the attributes of Allah the Exalted

Question:
A simplified question: Your Eminence says, what is the ruling on asking about the manner of any of the attributes of Allah the Exalted?

Answer:
It is not permissible to ask about the manner; rather, one asks about the meaning. The meaning is known, but as for the manner, no one knows it except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and they do not encompass it in knowledge. He is more knowledgeable about Himself, Glorified and Exalted is He, and about others. As for us, we believe in the names and attributes of Allah and we affirm their meanings, but we do not know their manners. For this reason, a man came to Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) in his gathering and said, "Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, said: How did He rise above the Throne?" At that, Imam Malik lowered his head until sweat poured from him out of fear of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Then he raised his head and said, "O this one, the rising above the Throne is known, meaning its meaning is known, and the manner is unknown, and belief in it is obligatory, and asking about it is a religious innovation. I do not think you are anything but a man of evil." He ordered that he be taken out of the mosque.
It is not permissible to ask about the manner of the names and attributes of Allah; rather, one asks about their meaning. What is the meaning of al-Rahman? What is the meaning of al-Rahim? What is the meaning of "He rose above the Throne"? The meaning is known, but as for the manner, no one knows it except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
