Interpretation of Istiwa' as Sitting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, Shaykh, I just want to say to you, O honorable one, regarding the one who says that istiwa' means to sit, is he to be expelled from the implementation?

Answer:
This is because it was not established that it means sitting. And we do not invent anything on our own. Yes.
