Explanation of the author's statement: "… Thirdly: regarding that which has not been negated or affirmed in the texts, in which people have disputed, such as body, space, and direction, and the like."

The Shaykh : As for "regarding that which has not been negated or affirmed in the texts, he says: 'in which people have disputed, such as body, space, and direction, and the like. Their method regarding it is to suspend judgment on the wording, so they do not affirm it nor deny it because no text has come regarding it. As for its meaning, they seek clarification. If what is intended by it is falsehood, from which Allah is free, they reject it. If what is intended by it is truth, which is not impossible for Allah, they accept it'", there are matters that have become a source of discussion among people, for which no explicit text has come, such as body, space, and direction, and the like. Do we say that Allah has a body? Do we say that Allah does not have a body? We do not say, "No." In terms of the wording, we do not affirm it nor deny it; we do not affirm it nor deny it in terms of the wording. But in terms of the meaning, we seek clarification of its meaning. That is why he says "Their method is to suspend judgment on the wording, so they do not affirm it nor deny it. As for its meaning, they seek clarification". We say: What do you mean by "body"? If you mean by "body" a composite thing made of flesh, blood, and bone, whose parts depend on the whole, and the like, then this is impossible for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If you mean by "body" the essence described with what befits Him, then it is true, for Allah has an essence described with perfection. Yes. So we say this is true. But beware of saying that Allah is a body, or saying that Allah is not a body, because it may be true, as you saw, there is truth in it and falsehood in it. If you affirm, you imply the falsehood; if you deny, you imply the denial of the truth. So it is not permissible for you to affirm or deny. Likewise, regarding "space," you ask: Does Allah have a space, or is Allah in a space, or the like? We say: What do you mean by "space"? If you mean by "space" that He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is distinct from the created things, separated from them, and detached, then is this true or false? It is true, because Allah the Exalted is distinct from the created things; He is not contained in them, nor are they contained in Him. If you mean by "space" that things are contained in it, as you might say, for example, "My property is in the space between the mountain and the valley," yes, then is this true or false? It is false, so we reject it. Since "space" is a general term that can imply truth or falsehood, we say it is not permissible for you to apply it to Allah or deny it of Him until you seek clarification.
Likewise, regarding "direction," if someone says, "Is Allah in a direction, or is He not in a direction?" Yes, we seek clarification. It is not permissible to say "in a direction" or "not in a direction," because if we generalize, it may be imagined that things encompass Allah, meaning the encompassing of things by Allah. And if we deny it, it may be understood as the doctrine of the deniers, who say that Allah the Exalted is not inside the world, nor outside it, nor above it, nor connected to it, and so on.
So we say: As for the word "direction," we do not affirm it nor deny it. But its meaning? We seek clarification. If you mean by "direction" a lower direction, then He is free from that, and it is not permissible. If you mean a higher direction that encompasses Him, then He is also free from that. If you mean a higher direction that does not encompass Allah, then this is true, for Allah the Exalted is in the height, as evidenced by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise his hands to the sky, and he asked the slave girl , and Allah knows best.
