It is known that the attribute of al-Haqw is established for Allah the Exalted, and there is a hadith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith of al-Haqw, I answered this question for you by saying that the attribute of al-Haqw, like the other attributes, is established for Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), just as we found another hadith, the hadith that the womb is suspended or grasping the legs of the Throne. It seems that this hadith is what led some of those who interpret the attributes to take this position. So what... is the ruling on this hadith?

The Shaykh : The question is not clear. What is this hadith?

The questioner : It seems that this is the hadith that confused them, so they resorted to interpretation.

The Shaykh : In every hadith.

The questioner : No, I mean in this hadith specifically.

The Shaykh : Well, if it is a matter of independent legal reasoning, there is no objection, but this does not mean interpreting all the attributes.

The questioner : Explaining 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) is what is commensurate with His majesty and greatness.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : We have no interpretation beyond that.

The questioner : I mean the hadith
Grasping the legs of the Throne أخذة بقوائم العرش
.

The Shaykh : All matters of the unseen, may Allah reward you, all matters of the unseen are passed over and not interpreted. Because it grasps 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 can it be suspended from the legs of the Throne? Allah knows best. It is not permissible to delve into such matters beyond what the text has stated, or otherwise.
