Is the term "place" (hayz) applied to Allah?

The Shaykh : We come to the word "place" (hayz), or "being in a place" (tahaayyuz), or something similar. You say, "If you say that Allah the Exalted is above His creation by His essence, it follows that He is in a place, or in a location, or has a location, or something like that." We say that the word "place" (hayz) has not come in the texts, neither as an affirmation nor a negation, so we pause regarding its wording. As for its meaning, we ask: If you mean by "place" that the created things encompass Allah the Glorious and Exalted and surround Him, then this is false and impossible for Allah the Glorious and Exalted. But if you mean by the word "place" that He is distinct from the created things and separate from them, then this is true. This is true. This is the case, because if you now look through the books of the Mu'tazilah or the Asha'irah, you will find that they claim that being in a place follows from affirming such things, that He must have a location, and so on. We say, why do we say this? You bring upon us harm with these expressions. We must confront you in the arena so that we know what you mean by "being in a place" or "place" or something similar.
