The obligation to interpret the texts of the attributes according to their apparent meaning in the Arabic language, but how is this for those who do not understand Arabic?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is obligatory for us regarding the texts of the attributes to interpret them according to their apparent meaning. But, O Shaykh, people come and say, "Interpret them according to their apparent meaning," and they mean, how? For example, if a person is certain that he is seeking guidance and is not being stubborn, and he says, "Allah descends," how does He descend? What is the meaning of "descends"? Do we say, O Shaykh, that for us it is such and such, but for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) it is different? For example, the face or the foot: for us it is this, but for Allah it is what befits His Majesty?

The Shaykh : Correct, this is it, yes, O Salim.
