Attributing evil to Allah the Exalted and its occurrence in His actions

Question:
Sami asks your eminence: Is evil attributed to Allah the Exalted? And does evil occur in His actions?

Answer:
Evil is not attributed to Allah, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) created the creation of good and evil, but with respect to Allah it is not evil, because He created it for a wisdom; He created evil for a wisdom, so it is not evil with respect to Him. It is only evil with respect to the created beings. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) created evil, but He created it for a wisdom from Him (Glorified and Exalted is He), as a trial and a test. So with respect to Allah it is not evil, but with respect to the created beings it is evil. Yes.
