335◾️Are the Hands of Allah extended or is the extending a metaphor for generosity?◾️
Answered by Fadeelatushaykh Abu Hatim Yusuf Al-'Inaabi Al-Jazaa'iree - may Allah preserve him -
📥Question:
There is a questioner asking about the statement of the most high:
(بَلْ يَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ يُنفِقُ كَيْفَ يَشَاء).
"Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills".
[Al-Ma'idah:64]
Do Ahlussunnah take this verse upon its apparent? Are His hands extended, or is there an affirmation for the hands and the extending is a metaphor for not being stingy and abundance of giving?
📤Answer:
Ahlussunnah wal-Jamaa'ah affirm hands for Allah the mighty and majestic in a manner which befits Him exalted is He, and befits His greatness and His majesty.
They affirm that the hands have descriptions. Among these descriptions of the hands of Allah the mighty and majestic, is that they are extended. They affirm hands which is an attribute of the essence of Allah the mighty and majestic. And they affirm its descriptions, which came in the Qur’an and Sunnah. And amongst these descriptions of the hand of Allah the mighty and majestic is: that the hand of Allah the mighty and majestic are extended.
To say that it is a metaphor is a false interpretation. But rather the extended is affirmed, and what this extending implies is that Allah the mighty and majestic is abundant in giving.
Pay attention to this if it is said that Allah the mighty and majestic, has hands affirmed to Him, but this extending is a metaphor. This is a mis-interpretation, because it is contrary to the apparent meaning of the text, but it is said that the extending of the hands of Allah the mighty and majestic is affirmed, and this extending implies that the meaning is that He is abundant in giving.
