Summary
Believers are to affirm the emergence of Yajuj and Majuj, as it is clearly stated in the Quran and the Sunnah. They are human beings descended from Adam, made up of two tribes, and the texts indicate that they are disbelievers. According to the work Ashrat al-Sa'ah cited in the answer, they emerge after the descent of Prophet Isa AS, and it is said after he kills the Dajjal.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Yakjuj dan Makjuj berasal daripada keturunan Adam, yakni manusia.
