The ruling on attributing Ibn Sayyad to the Dajjal

Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is Ibn Sayyad the Dajjal? And even assuming he is not, he defended himself before the Companions, as in the story in Muslim, when he said, “You say I am the Dajjal, but the Dajjal is one-eyed, and I am not one-eyed.” And the question is: Was this an accusation by the Companions against him, like the accusation of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) against him with what was not in him? Yes.

Answer:
Allah knows best. These are matters we do not delve into. When some of the Companions were about to kill him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from killing him. He said, "There is no good for you in killing him. If he is the Dajjal, you will not be given power over him, and if he is someone else, there is no good for you in killing him." So, we refrain from making a definitive ruling on this matter. Indeed, Allah knows best, while believing in the emergence of the Messiah, the Dajjal, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us. As for whether he is the son of Siyar, that is a matter for consideration and restraint. Allah is capable of all things (Glorified and Exalted is He). When the promise comes, it will happen as He (Glorified and Exalted is He) wills. Yes.
