Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is your opinion of this phrase: "Allah, Exalted is His Majesty, is not described with maleness or femaleness"?
The Shaykh:
This is false speech; it is not permissible to speak about it. Whatever Allah and His Messenger remained silent about, we remain silent about.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
We deny only what Allah and His Messenger denied, and we do not deny except what Allah and His Messenger established. Whatever Allah and His Messenger remained silent about, we remain silent about, and we do not interpret it.
The questioner:
They say: May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
