Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are many questions being asked: Is it true that what is mentioned is that Gog and Magog are the people of China, and that the barrier is the Great Wall of China?
Answer:
Who says this? This is not what a scholar says. This is only said by some of the ignorant or some of the guessers. Allah knows best about that. You have turned over the entire earth and explored all of it, and there is nothing left in it that you have not discovered. No one has discovered this. Yes. Even those who have the capabilities and the means have not discovered it. You see the entire earth, and they have not discovered all the things in the atmospheres that they do not know and have not reached. Yes.
