Is it permissible, Islamically, to describe Allah Almighty as having specifically two hands and two eyes?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The People of the Sunnah and the Community affirm all of God's attributes that He affirmed for Himself or that His Messenger Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, affirmed for Him. They deny about Him all that He denied about Himself, without distortion or nullification, and without asking 'how' or making similitudes, believing that He, glorified be He, "there is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing." And that He has two hands and two eyes befitting Him, glorified be He, without asking 'how', as stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. This is the belief of the imams of the Salaf, including Imam Ibn Uthaymeen and Imam Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ash'ari.
