The answer

It is not permissible to describe a created being as saying to a thing, "Be," and it is, and believing that is disbelief that expels one from the fold of Islam, because it attributes a characteristic of the Creator to a created being. Rather, it is obligatory for a Muslim to avoid ambiguous speech, especially if its apparent meaning is objectionable.
