The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh: One of the companies wanted to establish a project in Makkah, and the land on which they wanted to build a residential project contains a mountain. They wanted to break up this mountain, so one of the people came to them and said: There is a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that one of the signs of the Hour is the removal of the mountains of Makkah. So they stopped. What is the authenticity of this hadith?
The Shaykh : I say: The Hour is near, whether the mountains are removed or not. They stopped so that the Hour would not be hastened, yes, but the Hour is near, and this has no authenticity.
The questioner : Do you mean it is not authentic?
The Shaykh : It is not authentic, there is no doubt about it; it is not authentic.
