The Ruling on One Who Denies the Emergence of the Mahdi
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, on the one who denies the emergence of the Mahdi (peace be upon him)?
Answer:
This is an ignorant person; he is ignorant, and his opinion is not to be taken. He denies the mass-transmitted hadiths. He denies them. This person is either ignorant or misguided; either he is ignorant or he is misguided, so do not pay attention to him. Books have been written on the emergence of the Mahdi, in which the authentic hadiths are explained and it is established that his emergence is inevitable. But these people are as Allah the Exalted said:[Yunus 10:39] A person should not rush in matters; he should not rush in matters. He should be firm and not follow every barker or every one who leads with what he does not understand. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
