Are the hadiths about the Mahdi authentic, and where will he emerge?

Answer : Yes, the authentic view regarding the Mahdi is that he is established; the authentic view regarding the Mahdi is that he is established, because there are famous and widespread hadiths about him. However, he is not the Mahdi of the Rafidah. Yes, Allah knows best. No hadiths have come regarding this, but Allah will send him in his place, whether in Makkah or elsewhere. The place does not concern us. What matters is that the earth, instead of being filled with oppression and injustice, will be filled with justice and equity through his hand.
