Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author of the Tafsir al-Jalalayn said in Surat al-A'raf, in the verse
then He established Himself above the Throneثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ
[As-Sajdah 32:4]
, "A rising above the Throne befitting Him." Is this interpretation correct in affirming the attribute?

Answer:
This is a general statement. This is a general statement. If he intends tafwid (delegation), then it is not permissible. If he intends to delegate the meaning, then it is not permissible. This is the doctrine of the Mu'awwizah. If he intends "a rising above the Throne befitting Him, Glorified and Exalted is He," while knowing its meaning—knowing its meaning, which is elevation, rising, and settling—then this is correct. But it is an elevation, rising, and settling whose modality is known only to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
