Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding affirming and denying what the people of kalam (theology) attribute to Allah the Exalted in terms of descriptions and speech, which may have a meaning that only the scholars understand?
Answer:
We never accept additions or increments. We do not affirm for Allah any of the names or attributes except what Allah affirmed in His Book, or what His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed for Him. We do not affirm anything from ourselves or from others; there are no additions and no increments.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
