Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: What is the difference between action attributes and descriptive attributes?
Answer:
The descriptive attributes are those established by hearing, meaning by the Qur'an or the Sunnah. These are the descriptive ones, as opposed to the rational attributes. This is the terminology used by scholars. They say, for example, the evidence in Medina is like the great mountain. The descriptive ones are those established by hearing, meaning by revelation, which has not been conveyed regarding reward and recompense.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
