Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the statement of Allah[Ash-Shuraa 42:29] is not permissible,
Answer:
In general, it is not permissible, in general. But if you bring the verse[Ash-Shuraa 42:29], there is no harm. However, if you say in general that He is All-Powerful over whatever He wills, no, [An-Nur 24:45]. Rather, this is the statement of the Mu'tazilah. This is the statement of the Mu'tazilah, who do not see the generality of divine power. Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the statement of Allah
for gathering them when He wills, is competent.
