Is it correct to describe the attributes of Allah as optional?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is there a difference between the attributes of action, or the actual attributes, and the optional attributes?

Answer:
As for the optional attributes, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is not described with these optional attributes; He is not described with this. This applies to other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Optional means that one does it by his choice, or he leaves it by his choice. Yes.
