Is it permissible for us to say that Allah has an eye, two eyes, and eyes, and a hand, two hands, and hands?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... Allah has an eye ... and hands ...
The Shaykh : This is what is permissible if one intends what is prohibited, it is not permissible.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, rather, it was reported with a specific indication, and also, if you say Allah has a hand, hands, and two hands, the meaning becomes that He has hands, because the few are included in the many.
The student: In the many.
The Shaykh : Included in the many, but you say that the attribute of the hand was reported in the singular, dual, and plural forms; this is the correct view.
The questioner : ... May Allah reward you ...
The Shaykh : That is, he says, "There is nothing like Him." The estimation is that there is nothing like Him. This is a dispute that nearly tears apart Allah ... heh heh.
The student: Only seven minutes remain.
The Shaykh : Fine, and I am here.
The student: Seven minutes remain until the end of the lesson.
The Shaykh : Strange, so when you stole this lesson, I will steal the other two lessons, and we ask you to excuse us now and limit ourselves to this. Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What?
The student: Many questions are asked about this ...
The student: Seven minutes ...
The Shaykh : Seven minutes remain. Fine, yes.
