It is known that the attribute of al-Haqw is established for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and there is a hadith: "The womb is holding onto the legs of the Throne."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith of al-Haqw; you answered us about this question that the attribute of al-Haqw, like the other attributes, is established for Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). But we found another hadith; the hadith that the womb is suspended from or holding onto the legs of the Throne. It seems this hadith is what led some of those who interpret the attributes to take this approach. So I do not know what the answer to this hadith is?
The Shaykh : The question is not clear. What is this hadith?
The questioner : It seems this is the hadith that confused them, so they resorted to interpretation.
The Shaykh : For every hadith?
The questioner : No, I mean in this hadith specifically.
The Shaykh : Fine; if it is based on independent legal reasoning, there is no objection, but this does not mean interpreting all the attributes.
The questioner : Guiding the hadith, O Shaykh, the hadith?
The Shaykh : We have nothing more than what came in the hadith. Al-Haqw is taken at its apparent meaning, and what befits Allah (Mighty and Majestic) from it is what corresponds to His majesty and greatness.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : We have no interpretation beyond that.
The questioner : I mean the hadith.
The Shaykh : All matters of the unseen—may Allah bless you—all matters of the unseen are passed over and not interpreted; because it is holding onto the legs of the Throne, and the Throne is a creation among the creations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), whereas the womb is a concept; so how is it suspended from the legs of the Throne? Allah knows best; so it is not permissible to delve into such matters more than what the explicit text has brought.
Other than that?

Holding onto the legs of the Throne
آخذة بقوائم العرشThe Shaykh : All matters of the unseen—may Allah bless you—all matters of the unseen are passed over and not interpreted; because it is holding onto the legs of the Throne, and the Throne is a creation among the creations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), whereas the womb is a concept; so how is it suspended from the legs of the Throne?
