Attributing ownership and disposal of affairs to created beings
Question

                Is it correct to attribute ownership and disposal of affairs to created beings when these are actions that should be attributed to Allaah by way of affirming His Oneness?.
Praise be to Allah.We must believe 
    that Allaah alone has ownership and that no one owns created beings except 
    their Creator, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

    “And to Allaah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the 
    earth”

    [Aal ‘Imraan 3:189] 

    “Say: “In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything”

    [al-Mu’minoon 23:88]
With regard to 
    verses which speak of ownership belonging to someone other than Allaah, such 
    as the verses (interpretation of the meaning):

    “Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right 
    hands possess,  
    for then, they are free from blame”

    [al-Mu’minoon 23:6] 

    “or (from that) whereof you hold keys”

    [al-Noor 24:61]

    this differs from the ownership that is attributed to Allaah 
    in several ways, such as: 

    1-The ownership of a created 
    being is limited and only includes a few of these created things. A man may 
    own that which is under his control, but he does not own that which is under 
    the control of others.

    2-It is limited, not absolute. A 
    man does not own that which he has in the fullest sense of the word. Hence 
    he can only dispose of it in ways that are permitted in sharee’ah. For 
    example, if he wants to burn his wealth or torture his animal, we say that 
    this is not permitted. But Allaah owns things in a complete and 
    comprehensive sense.

    With regard to saying that Allaah is the only disposer of 
    affairs, this means that a person believes that Allaah is the Only One Who 
    is in control, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

    “Say (O Muhammad): ‘Who provides for you from the sky and 
    the earth? Or who owns hearing and sight? And who brings out the living from 
    the dead and brings out the dead from the living? And who disposes the 
    affairs?’ They will say: ‘Allaah.’ Say: ‘Will you not then be afraid of 
    Allaah’s punishment (for setting up rivals in worship with Allaah)?’

    Such is Allaah, your Lord in truth. So after the truth, 
    what else can there be, save error? How then are you turned away?”

    [Yoonus 10:31]
With regard to a 
    man’s disposal of affairs, it is limited to that which is under his control 
    and that which is permitted to him by sharee’ah.
Based on this, 
    there is nothing wrong with attributing ownership and disposal of affairs to 
    a person, but this sovereignty and disposal of affairs is limited. There is 
    no one who owns and controls all things in a comprehensive sense except 
    Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted. And Allaah knows best.
