Benefit: Is the Dajjaal (Anti-Christ) from the Children of Aadam?

. Posted in Brief Benefits

In the Name of Allaah, Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem...  as-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah,

[Q]: Is the Dajjaal (Anti-Christ) from Banee Aadam (Children of Aadam)?

[A]: 146. Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymeen: The Dajjaal is from the children of Aadam. Some of the scholars say that he is Shaytaan, and some say that his father is human and his mother is a jinn. However, these statements are incorrect, for it is apparent that he is from the children of Aadam, and that he needs food and drink, etc. For this reason, 'Eesaa ('alayhis-salaam) will certainly slay him in an ordinary manner as a human being is slayed.1

[1] Shaykh ibn al-`Uthaymeen, Majmoo` al-Fatawaa war-Rasaa`il, vol.2


وسئل فضيلة الشيخ: هل الدجال من بني ادم؟

فأجاب قائلا: الدجال من بني ادم. وبعض العلماء يقول إنه شيطان. وبعضهم يقول إن أباه إنسي وأمه جنية، وهذه الأقوال ليست صحيحة، فالذي يظهر أن الدجل من بني ادم، وأنه يحتاج إلى الأكل والشرب وغير ذلك، ولهذا يقتله عيسى قتلا عاديا كما يقتل البشر.
