The questioner : Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : ... The Shaykh, delving deeply into the attributes may ... the people ...
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner : Because some people have intrusive thoughts
The Shaykh : Yes, I agree with you on this, and I always warn against it. I say: Make your faith in the names and attributes like the faith of the old women, as many of the intelligent scholars of theology wished for. Because delving deeply leads to one of two things: either denial of the divine attributes or likening Allah to creation. I think we spoke on this a few nights ago; perhaps with Musa, with Musa, we spoke well. If you take the tape from him and he sells it to you for a thousand riyals, there is no harm, because it is beneficial.
The student: In the meeting ...
The Shaykh : No, here, here, yes, in the lesson here. Some of the students here wrote to me, meaning they said: Now our hearts are cooled, and they praised the speech with high praise. Yes, it is praiseworthy.
