How can one refute the doubts of those who deny the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The brother asks about the doubts of those who deny the Eye, the Hand, the Foot, the Face, and the like. They claim, using their intellects, that affirming these necessitates ascribing a body to Allah, and that Allah is a body, because we do not comprehend anything that has a face, a hand, and the like except as a body. We say to them, in answering this: Who told you that a body is negated from Allah? Who said this? Do you have evidence that it is negated? If affirming these attributes necessitates that Allah is a body, then that is the truth, but He does not resemble bodies. And if it does not necessitate that, then your compelling us with what does not follow is the very essence of injustice and oppression.
