Does Allah have two eyes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The issue of affirming two eyes for Allah, what is your opinion on this matter?

The Shaykh : Affirming two eyes.

The questioner : Yes, meaning to say that Allah has two eyes, is this said?

The Shaykh : It is said, of course.

The questioner : It is said that He has two eyes?

The Shaykh : It is known. As for him, I think the disagreement and discussion is whether it is said that He has more than that.

The questioner : By Allah, I do not think so. In any case, this is not what I intend. I think the disagreement is this: does He have two eyes or not?

The Shaykh : Is there no disagreement that He has eyes?

The questioner : Between the people of the Sunnah and the community, or with others?

The Shaykh : Between the people of the Sunnah.

The questioner : By Allah, I do not actually remember now. On this basis, is it said that Allah has two eyes?

The Shaykh : Of course.

The questioner : I do not know if I am mistaken or not. It seems to me that I remember some of the brothers asked you, and it seemed like you were hesitant on this, meaning you used to issue a ruling other than this.

The Shaykh : It is possible for a person if their thoughts are not gathered.

The questioner : Okay, what is the evidence for affirming two eyes?

The Shaykh : One may cite the hadith of the Dajjal as evidence for this.

The questioner
He is one-eyed, but by Allah, He is not one-eyed هو أعور, والله ليس بأعور
. Okay, if someone said: this argumentation is from the category of the implication of the opposite (mafhum al-mukhalafah), and the implication of the opposite means an argument in creed, in affirming an attribute for Allah?

The Shaykh : What is the aspect of the implication of the opposite here?

The questioner : I mean, the argumentation here is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has two eyes,
Indeed your Lord is not blind in one eye إن ربكم ليس بأعور
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2241Sahih (Darussalam)
, and the one-eyed person has one eye. So, by the opposite, that He is not one-eyed, and He has two eyes. This is your argumentation here.

The Shaykh : It is like that. What is the difference then between the rulings?

The questioner : And the argumentation?

The Shaykh : The difference here brings up the question, based on the rule of distinguishing between ahad hadiths and mutawatir hadiths in creed. And if this is not applicable to our direction and methodology, then likewise here. — This sutrah that Abu Abdullah placed is good, but does it have to stay like this? This is from the category of precaution... for the prayer...

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Ignorance and custom...

The questioner : ... his name is Mustafa...The Shaykh : Their followers... the master of all...

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar. How do people hypnotize minds! Mostly, these are ignorant people who do not know anything of the religion, yet they control people and enslave them.
