Affirming the attribute of limit for Allah the Exalted or denying it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Is a limit attributed to Allah the Exalted, or is it denied of Him?

Answer:
You have taken up in the past, and it has been repeated to you, that nothing is attributed to Allah except what He has attributed to Himself and what His Messenger has attributed to Him. As for what has not come in the Book and the Sunnah, it is not attributed and does not apply, such as a body, an accident, and things; these are not attributed to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), nor are limbs and parts. All of these are verbal conventions that are not attributed to Allah. Unless it is in the Book and the Sunnah, we do not attribute it to Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
