Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there any prohibition in dividing tawhid (the oneness of Allah) into four sections, such that the fourth section is tawhid al-hakimiyyah (the oneness of sovereignty)?

Answer:
Yes, by Allah, this is what we warned you about, and this is what we are warning you about: do not ever say what the Salaf (the earliest generations) did not say. Tawhid al-hakimiyyah (the oneness of sovereignty), my brother, is included in tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship), and some scholars say it is included in tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship). So it is included in the three sections. The scholars did not separate it as a distinct section; rather, it was separated by partisan groups who want to support their school and their party. So we do not pay attention to them. We say what our scholars and our righteous Salaf (the earliest generations) said, and we do not add anything from ourselves. Yes.
