Does Allah have five fingers on each hand?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The attribute of fingers is affirmed for Allah the Almighty by sound Sunnah. This attribute befits Him, Glorified be He, without similitude or representation. Indeed, the hearts of the children of Adam are between two fingers of the Most Merciful. Some narrations indicate that the fingers are an attribute for both of His hands. As for the number of fingers, some scholars refrain from mentioning a specific number, holding that the text does not specify it. While others explicitly state that there are five, and this is the more apparent of the two opinions on the matter, and it is the clear meaning of the Hadith of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.
