Having the belief that Allah Ta'ala has power over all things

Q: I have heard muftis saying that it is wrong to say that Allah Ta'ala has the power to lie. Defects are not under His Qudrat, since lying is a defect and Allah Ta'ala is free from all defects.

A: There is no need for all and sundry to discuss these types of topics. It is like if someone were to ask you that can you eat a spoon of excreta, you will feel very much distraught. Hence, it is enough for you to believe that Allah Ta`ala has power over all things.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
