Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: May Allah inform you, what is your opinion of this phrase: that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, hears without attributes?
Answer:
It is not permissible to speak about it in that way. He hears, and that is enough. He hears as He wills, Glorified and Exalted is He. Do not say it is with a sense or without a sense. This is asking how an attribute is and imposing a form on it. Yes.
