The Difference Between One Who Says Allah Descends and One Who Says Allah Did Not Enter a Place

The Shaykh : Yes, O living ones.

The questioner : I ask Allah: Is there a difference between one who says that Allah descends and one who says, "We do not say that Allah descends into every place, but we say that Allah did not enter our place"?

The Shaykh : There is no doubt that the first is more severe, because the first affirmed a defective meaning. The second denied saying this, but both are deniers of the divine attributes regarding the attribute of rising above the Throne, because the content of both statements is that He is not above the heavens.
