Is it permissible to describe the Lord as having two eyes, as is reported from some of the Salaf?

The questioner : He says: Is it permissible to describe the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) as having two eyes, as is reported from some of the Salaf?

The Shaykh : I believe so; because the texts are clear in this regard after the Noble Qur'an: , so the Prophet (peace be upon him) narrated the story of the Dajjal and his emergence at the end of time, and his saying (peace be upon him) ... : , and in some narrations he (peace be upon him) pointed to his eye. So the fact that the Prophet describes the Dajjal with this defect, which is being one-eyed, necessitates that Allah (Mighty and Majestic), whom we have purified from being one-eyed, has two eyes. From this and similar matters, those who spoke among the Salaf said that He has two eyes. And the verse we mentioned earlier: , is without doubt, even though the intended meaning is not "in our eyes" as some of the deniers of attributes and those who interpret figuratively think, but rather "you are under our watch, under our sight, and under our care." Even if this meaning is what is intended, it necessitates affirming this attribute for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So I believe in what was reported from some of the Salaf, as I mentioned.

The questioner : It was reported to you that you met with some of the Shaykhs last time and were asked this question, so you answered: that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has one eye. Is this a lie, or is it a misreporting of what you said?

The Shaykh : What is the difference between what I said now and what was reported to you?

The questioner : We were told that you say: that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has one eye.

The Shaykh : Now the word has revealed the lie; this is not a lie.
