Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to attribute to Allah what He has not attributed to Himself, if there is no deficiency in it?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to attribute to Allah anything other than what He has attributed to Himself, or what His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has attributed to Him. This is a matter of divine restriction.
