Summary
This ruling relays Imam al-Qurtubi's view in al-Tazkirah that the Dajjal is an immense trial, such that the Prophet SAW sought refuge from him in every prayer. His features are described through several hadiths, including a large build, curly hair, a blind right eye, and the word kafir written between his eyes, readable by every believer. Other narrations mention two rivers he brings, one of water and one of fire, and state that Allah is not blind in one eye.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dajjal adalah fitnah yang amat besar sehingga Rasulullah SAW sering membaca doa memohon perlindungan daripada Dajjal dalam setiap solatnya.
