Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who interprets istiwaa' (rising above the Throne) as a metaphor for dominance? And is this interpretation correct?
Answer:
Dominance is seizing control, so only the wording has changed, and dominance is seizing control. This interpretation is invalid.
