The Rumor of al-Safa Splitting and the Emergence of the Dabbah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, a rumor has spread among the people that there is a split in al-Safa, which is the place from which the dabbah will emerge. It is said that after the Imam of the Sacred Precinct made a supplication, this dabbah entered the earth. It is also said that you were asked about this and gave an answer that was mentioned. What is your view on this, Your Eminence, father?
Answer:
This is a false statement with no basis. It did not happen, we were not asked about it, and I did not give any answer regarding it. The time for the dabbah has not come; its time has not yet arrived. Its time is when ten [stars] rise from its west, after the descent of al-Masih from its west, after the emergence of the Dajjal, after the emergence of Gog and Magog from their barrier. It will then emerge. There is no established evidence regarding the place of its emergence. Allah knows best when it will emerge and from where. The claim that it will take [its path] from al-Safa or from the Sacred Mosque has no established evidence; these are merely statements without proof. All these rumors are false and have no foundation. I possess
