Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that the appearance of al-Mahdi at the end of time is established through authentic, good and mutually strengthening weak hadiths, and that the majority of scholars accept it. The views of a few scholars who differ are not given weight. Al-Mahdi is described as a member of the Prophet's household whose name matches the Prophet's name, who will establish justice and rule for seven years. The text also lists some of his signs, including a mark on his shoulder like the one on the Prophet's shoulder.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kebenarannya, sesungguhnya majoriti ahli ilmu bahkan ia adalah satu kesepakatan bahawa sabitnya khabar berkenaal al-Mahdi bahkan dia adalah benar dan akan keluar pada akhir zaman.
