Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who says that the Mahdi is not from Quraysh but rather from Qahtan, and what is the ruling on one who denies his emergence?
Answer:
They are all liars. The one who says he is not from Quraysh is a liar, because he is denying the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stated that he is from the family of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And the one who says he is from Qahtan is also a liar; this is due to their ignorance and their baseless speculation. The Muslim submits and does not interfere in matters of the unseen or matters of the future.
