What is the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the names and attributes?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the characteristics of the people of the Sunnah and the community in the chapter of names and attributes? What distinguishes them? And what is the correct position regarding the attributes and names that did not come in the Book and the Sunnah, such as the body?

Answer:
The position of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the names and attributes is clear: they believe in all of them and affirm them as they came in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and they believe in the meanings they indicate. They do not distort them or interpret them with other than their interpretation; rather, they believe in them and in the great attributes and noble meanings they indicate. This is their position: they do not liken them to the attributes of the created beings, nor do they deny them as the Mu'tazilah and the Jahmiyyah do. Yes, they believe in them with a belief free from likening Allah to creation and comparing Allah to creation, and they purify Allah with a purification free from denial of the divine attributes, in accordance with the saying of Allah the Exalted: Yes.
