Does affirming the foot for Allah the Exalted necessitate affirming the leg?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If we affirm that Allah the Exalted has feet, do we affirm that Allah the Exalted has legs? Because it is known from the speech of the Arabs that the leg is connected to the foot.

Answer:
This, my brother, came in the authentic hadith: He reveals His leg, Glorified and Exalted is He, on the Day of Resurrection
and then all the Believers, men and women, will prostrate themselves before Himفيسجد له كل مؤمن ومؤمنة
Sahih al-Bukhari 4919
and the hypocrites want to prostrate, but their backs become rigid and they are unable to prostrate. This came in the authentic hadith affirming the leg for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
