For those that might think that ˆAliyy Al-Qaariy was soft on believers in Aļļaah having a direction, or bodily attributes, because he did not hate Ibn Taymiyyah should think again. The only reason for this was that he did not think that Ibn Taymiyyah had such beliefs. There are many scholars that were in this boat in the past, because Ibn Taymiyyah’s works had not been gathered and consolidated. Anyway, here is ˆAliyy Al-Qaariy’s view on anthropomorphic beliefs, he states in Sħarĥ Al-Fiqh Al-Akbar:
“فمن أظلم ممن كذب على الله أو ادعى ادعاء معينا مشتملا على اثبات المكان والهيئة والجهة من مقابلة وثبوت مسافة وأمثال تلك الحالة، فيصير كافرا لا محالة) اهـ.
“Who is more unjust than the one that lied about Aļļaah, or claimed something that included affirming (to Him) a place, shape or direction such as facing, distance and the like… Such a person becomes a kaafir (non-Muslim) without doubt (P. 355).”

The following is related:
Al-Qari said in Mirqat al-Mafatih (1892 ed. 2:137 = 1994 ed. 3:300):
“A whole group of them [the early Muslims], as well as later scholars, said that whoever believes Allahu ta’ala to be in a particular physical direction is an unbeliever, as al-`Iraqi has explicitly stated, saying that this was the position of Abu Hanifa, Malik, al-Shafi`i, al-Ash`ari, and [Ibn] al-Baqillani.”
Al-Qari reiterates this fatwa in Sharh al-Fiqh al-Akbar (1984 ‘Ilmiyya ed. p. 57) and Sharh ‘Ayn al-‘Ilm (1989 ed. 1:34). (See: Footnote #432 on p. 253 of the translation of Ibn Jahbal’s “The Refutation of Him Who Attributes Direction to Allah” by Dr. G. F. Haddad, Aqsa Publications, Birmingham, UK, 2008.)
