The questioner : Is the Mahdi the one who leads the people to the conquest of Rome?
The Shaykh : No, there is no specific clarification regarding this. It may be him, it may be one of his armies, or it may happen after that. Allah knows best. That is to say, we have no clarification for a question like this. We believe that regarding matters of the unseen, whether their texts are from the Book or the Sunnah, one should not expand upon them, but rather stop at what is stated.
