The Shaykh :
"This is the taghut, which has become as *** you have seen it by the grace of the Most Merciful"
Praise be to Allah. And what has it become? It has become a corpse. It has fallen to the ground, face and hands down, and it has no movement left. The summary now is that this taghut is what? The body, or ascribing a body to Allah. And it has become clear in the answer to it that there are three aspects.
First: denying the necessity. And do we have the right to deny it? Yes, because the one who claims necessity needs to provide proof. He is the claimant, and the burden of proof is on the claimant.
Second: even if it is necessary, it is true, because the word of Allah and His Messenger is true, and what is necessary for the truth is true. It is not possible for the necessitated to be true and the necessitating to be false, or vice versa; it is not possible.
The third answer: specification. We say, what do you mean by "body"? If you mean by "body" that which exists in itself, is above His creation, and is perfect in His attributes, yes, if you mean by "body" that which exists in itself, is above His creation, and is perfect in His attributes, then we affirm it, and there is nothing wrong with it. What is the necessity? But if you mean by "body" that which is composed of matter and form, or similar things, or of individual substances, then we deny that, and we say that this is an argument we do not accept.
