The Ruling on Being Transformed into Monkeys and Pigs

Question:
May Allah reward you. Is the transformation into monkeys and pigs, Your Eminence the Shaykh, a physical reality?

Answer:
It is permissible to consume the free person and silk; the free person refers to the forbidden private parts, i.e., fornication, and silk, intoxicants, and musical instruments. That is, in the end times, people will be tested with this. They will consider intoxicants, silk, and musical instruments permissible due to the scarcity of religion and the weakness of faith. Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of this. It is not permissible to use musical instruments, instruments of amusement, nor is it permissible for men to wear silk, nor to engage in fornication. All of this is a known prohibition. The point of relevance in this chapter is slight: it is permissible to consume the free person and silk, because it is prohibited and forbidden for men. However, in the end times, people will come who consider it permissible because they do not care about the Sunnah and the Shari'ah, just as they consider intoxicants, musical instruments, and fornication permissible due to the lack of religion.
