Is it permissible to attribute the attribute of limit to Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? And what is the correct creed regarding this?

The questioner : A question regarding creed, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : In the text of "Al-'Aqeedah al-Tahawiyyah," there is a commentary by the honorable Shaykh Ibn Baz regarding the attribute of limit. He said that the limit is an attribute. I am conveying the meaning of his words: Is it permissible to attribute the limit to Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? That is, that Allah has a limit (Glorified and Exalted is He)?

The Shaykh : I do not think anyone holds this view, because the term "limit," whether in the negative or the affirmative, is like the term "direction." It is neither affirmed nor denied, and it is not used, because using it entails a prohibition. The best and the Salafi method is to refrain from using ambiguous terms. Perhaps you understood me?

The questioner : Yes, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Then I say, peace be upon you.

The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The student : May Allah grant you well-being, O our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Welcome, how are you?
The student : How are you, O Professor?

The Shaykh: How are you?
The student : The professor is Mustafa Nimer, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Welcome.
The student : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : How are you? I hope you are well.
The student : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : How are you?
The student : Praise be to Allah, and by Allah, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you well.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
Another student: May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Welcome, and upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Welcome, everyone, O Allah. How are you? How are your guests? Are they well?
The student : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The student : Please, my brother, let us not waste time, if Allah wills.
