For over 15 years and counting, whenever I am asked about books on aqeedah, I recommend Dr. Umar Sulayman al-Ashqar’s (may Allah have mercy on him) eight-volume Islamic Creed Series. They are available online as pdfs over here for people who wish to check them out prior to purchasing them.
Salam, does this series touch upon objections regarding Allah’s attributes? Such as objections the asharis raise like Allah’s hand, shin, etc. and objections Christians raise like whether the attributes are identical to the essence or not, etc.
I’m about to buy it but I see on Wikipedia that it says this scholar is a part of “Jamāʿat al-Ikhwān al-Muslimīn”. Isn’t this a heretical group? Do you think it would still be ok to purchase this regardless?
Many of the Ikhwan have "Salafi aqeedah" when it comes to these sorts of topics. What they are attacked for by some (e.g., their methodology in political engagement, rebellion & protests, their manhaj of uniting with others, etc.) is not relevant when it comes to this aqeedah series.

Wassalam. It does touch upon the topic in a foundational manner in part 1 of the series. You may check the pdf yourself if you like.

Don't take Wikipedia as a source of information. Never trust it, I mean it. Always double-check from better sources.
