Question:
And he consults you, I seek refuge in Allah, what is the ruling on the statement of the one who says "It was willed and decreed," such as saying, "I intended to harm you, but it was willed and decreed that I not come."
Answer:
This is not permissible, to attribute the action to the attribute and say "the decree willed" or "the will of Allah willed" or the like. This is not permissible. Rather, one says "Allah willed" or "Allah decreed," so the actions are attributed to Allah, not to His attributes.
