The indication of the question "Where is Allah?" in affirming the direction of the Most High

Question:
And the Shaykh (may Allah correct him) said: Does the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the ignorant woman, "Where is Allah?", indicate rulings regarding jihad?

Answer:
Yes, and there is no doubt in that. It indicates affirming the direction of the Most High, not an absolute direction, but the direction of the Most High. Also, when he addressed his companions at 'Arafah and asked them to bear witness that he had conveyed the message to them, he raised his finger to the sky and said He pointed to Him (Exalted and Majestic is He) with a tangible gesture using his noble finger, then turned it toward them and said This is clear in affirming the Most Highness for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for the term "direction" (jiha), they say it without awareness. The term "direction" is not in the Book or in the Sunnah. But if by it is meant the Most Highness, then this is correct. And if by it is meant a created direction and that Allah is within creation, then this is false. Yes.
