The Shaykh :"If not for the rules and restrictions, and these *** opinions, the bonds of faith would have expanded"
Indeed, these rules that they established and these restrictions narrowed the inner circle, and faith became unable to expand. I give you an example: What attributes of Allah do the Asha'irah affirm? Seven attributes, only seven attributes, even though the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are innumerable and cannot be contained. So they restricted themselves, they restricted themselves by deleting innumerable attributes from the attributes of Allah based on their invalid rules, and that we return to reason in what we judge regarding our Lord's attributes. All right.
