Is smelling an attribute of Allah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Is smelling an attribute of Allah like seeing and hearing? Please give references as it is a matter of belief.

Answer

The attributes and the beautiful names of Allah are tauqifi and samai i.e. only the particular attributes of Allah and His beautiful names shall be used which are established by the Quran, Hadith or ijma of ummah. We cannot add any name to the beautiful names of Allah from our side. The characteristic of smelling is not established from the above sources; hence it cannot be attributed to Allah.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
