Question:
Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: Shaykh al-Bahuti (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book al-Rawd al-Murba': "Is intention, linguistically, purpose?" So Shaykh Ibn Jasiym (may Allah have mercy on him) commented on it in his marginal notes, saying: "And from this, the Arabs said: May Allah intend for you with His protection, meaning He intends for you." And the question is: Is it permissible to describe Allah the Exalted as one who intends?
Answer:
Purpose. He explained it by saying that Allah intended it with that and willed it with that. There is no harm in it. It is an expression of meaning. Yes.
