Abu Muti’ Al-Balkhi reported:”I asked Imam Abu Hanifah about a person who says, ‘I do not know whether my Rubb is, above the heavens or on earth?’ Abu Hanifah, may Allah grant him His mercy, said: ‘A person who makes such a statement becomes an apostate because Allah, the Exalted says, ‘The Merciful has ascended above the ‘Arsh, and the ‘Arsh of Allah is above His heavens’. I further asked Abu Hanifah, ‘What if such a person admits, Allah is above His ‘Arsh, but exclaims, I do not know whether His ‘Arsh is above the heavens or on earth’. Abu Hanifah responded: ‘If he denies that the ‘Arsh is above the heavens, he is an apostate.”
