What is the ruling on one who gestures with opening and closing the hand while explaining in teaching 'aqidah (creed)

Question : The questioner says in her second question: Shaykh, is it permissible for a teacher of 'aqidah, when mentioning the attributes or when explaining, to gesture with opening and closing the hand?

Answer : This is not permissible. It is not permissible for a person, when explaining something of the attributes of Allah, to gesture, because this leads the listener to understand the path of the people of likening Allah to creation (tashbih). Except for what has come in an explicit text, as it has come in an explicit text. The text is the judge, not the one being judged. And whatever has not come in an explicit text, it is not permissible to gesture. Do you see? Is it permissible for a person, when he says that Allah descends to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains, to gesture with his hand as if it is descending from top to bottom? It is not possible. Therefore, we follow this path and say: whatever the Sunnah has brought regarding gesturing, let him do it, and whatever it has not, let him refrain from it.
