Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there any report that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has a spirit?
Answer:
My brother, we do not know. Do not ask us about anything that is not mentioned in the Book and the Sunnah. How many times have I told you not to answer? You speak of things that do not exist in the Book and the Sunnah, and in the words of the Salaf. Yes.
