I read in some books about the Dajjal; is he Ibn Sayyad or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I read in some books about the Dajjal; is he Ibn Sayyad or not? What is the truth in this? Also, in "Sahih Muslim", it is stated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man circumambulating the House, possessing the characteristics of the Dajjal. When he asked about him, he was told: "This is the Dajjal." Yet the Dajjal does not enter Makkah or al-Madinah. We seek your guidance?
The Shaykh : The correct position is that Ibn Sayyad is not the Dajjal who will be sent in the end of time.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Rather, he is a deceiver among the deceivers, resembling the fortune-tellers in his conjecturing and guessing, but he is not the Dajjal who will be sent when the Hour approaches, whom 'Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) will kill.
As for the vision of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he was told that the man circumambulating the House was the Dajjal, the prohibition applies to his entering in a waking state. The Dajjal who will be sent in the end of time does not enter Makkah or al-Madinah, and this applies to the waking state. Legal rulings differ between the waking state and dreams. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The listener, Fayyad Muhammad from al-Dammam, says.
