What is the ruling on the one who asks: Does the Throne become empty when Allah descends?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I heard a phrase.
The Shaykh : Regarding what?
The questioner : They quench the thirst.
The Shaykh : The descent of the Throne, or the emptiness of the Throne?
The questioner : It becomes empty of the Throne; the phrase he uses is "it becomes empty of the Throne" or "the Throne does not become empty of Him," so I found the phrase
The Shaykh : I do not know this phrase, and as I told you, if someone asks whether the Throne comes out of Him, we say: this is a bid'ah (religious innovation), so be silent.
