Is it permissible to say that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is established over the mountain and established over the water?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: Can we say, as it is established or explained that Allah established Himself over the mountain and over the water, that Allah is established over them? Is it correct to say that Allah is established over the Throne because He is established over it, just as with the mountain and the water? I did not understand the question and its meaning? I mean, O our Shaykh, you mentioned that we can say that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is established over the mountain and established over the water.

The Shaykh : No. It is not permissible.

The questioner : If I...

The Shaykh : Yes, that is it. That is, if we interpret "established over the Throne" as "established over the Throne" (in the sense of dominion), it would follow that we must say that if He established Himself over the mountain and established Himself over the water, and so on, and this is not correct. Is that clear? Praise be to Allah.
