Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that these inventions and advanced weapons will disappear in the end times, so that fighting will revert to what people used to do in the past, especially in the battle that will occur between the Muslims and the Jews in the end times?

Answer:
As you know, there is nothing here that lasts and continues. There is no doubt that these inventions and manufactured items will disappear; there is nothing in this world that lasts. The reports have come that they will become obsolete in the end times, and people will return to horses, to weapons, and to… Therefore, horses must remain and one should not look down upon them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection.الخيل معقود في نواصيها الخير الى يوم القيامه
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3574Sahih (Darussalam)
And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemyوَأَعِدُّوا لَهُم مَّا اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن قُوَّةٍ وَمِن رِّبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ
[Al-Anfal 8:60]
So there is no doubt that what exists now will not last, and it will disappear and change. Yes.
