Affirming the Leg and Foot of Allah and the Report of Ibn 'Abbas Regarding the Footstool
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Correct, Honorable Shaykh. It is established that Allah has a leg, and in the report of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) it is stated that the Footstool is the place of the Lord's feet, so he combined them.
Answer:
We affirm this, yes. We affirm that Allah has a leg and that Allah has feet. It has come that affirmed for Allah the leg, the foot, and the lower leg. We affirm for Allah what has come, and we believe in the difference between the leg, foot, and lower leg of the created being and what is established for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His other attributes. Yes.
Who told you that the leg is specific to the created being? Or who told you that the lower leg is specific to the created being? I mean, is it because you have only seen it in the created being? This does not indicate that it is not for the Uncreated. Yes. I found that the reason for this is a deficiency in understanding. If a person's understanding is deficient, he attributes this to the Qur'an and says the Qur'an does not provide certainty. It is you who do not possess certainty; the Qur'an provides certainty.

May Allah reward you

Allah places in the Fire on the Day of Resurrection, when the people of the Fire have entered it and something remains in it, He places His leg in it (Glorified and Exalted is He) until some of it is squeezed together.
الله يضع في النار يوم القيامة إذا دخلها أهل النار وبقي فيها شيء يضع فيها رجله سبحانه وتعالى حتى يلزوي بعضها إلى بعض،Who told you that the leg is specific to the created being?
