Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Those who translate the scholarly lessons for the deaf using sign language translate the attribute of the hand by gesturing with their hands, and likewise the other attributes such as the eye, the soul, the face, and others. Is their doing this permissible?
Answer:
This is not a matter of likening Allah to creation, but rather a matter of clarification only, and making it clear that this is a reality, not a metaphorical meaning, but rather a reality. That Allah has a face in reality, and a hearing in reality, and a hand in reality. They intend by this that it is a reality, and they do not intend likening. Yes.
