Summary
Matters concerning al-Mahdi and the youth of Bani Tamim fall under the signs of the Day of Judgment. A Muslim should believe what is reported in the Quran and authentic hadith, leave its true understanding to Allah, and focus on righteous deeds. Muslims are also encouraged to build civilisation through beneficial effort and not be swayed by baseless claims. For uncertain claims that do not affect faith, the safe course is to avoid speaking and listening about them, let alone believing them.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pendirian seorang muslim dalam perbahasan tanda-tanda hari Kiamat ialah menumpukan perhatian kepada perkara yang lebih penting baginya iaitu amal soleh dan ketaatan kepada Allah SWT.
