How do we distinguish between what falls under the category of attributes and what falls under the category of information regarding the names and attributes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The category of attributes... is from the category of information.
The Shaykh : Yes... An attribute is what resides in the one who possesses it, while information is what is reported about a thing. The scholars said that information is broader than a name. Information is broader than a name, for it is permissible to report about Allah the Exalted with everything that does not contradict His perfection, but you do not name Him with it. Yes.
