What is the ruling on a man who denies the Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal), the Mahdi, the descent of Jesus (peace be upon him), and Gog and Magog, claiming that the hadiths reported concerning them are fabricated, while maintaining his prayers and obligatory duties?

Whoever denies established and well-attested matters from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, such as the descent of the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, and the emergence of the Dajjal and Gog and Magog, is a disbeliever. As for the Mahdi, the reports concerning him are also well-attested, and whoever denies him alone, his disbelief might be paused upon, but the more apparent and closer view is that he is a disbeliever.
