What is the ruling on the statements of Sheikh Adnan Ibrahim, who denies the existence of the Antichrist (Al-Masih Al-Dajjal), the Mahdi, and the return of Jesus Christ, son of Mary, and who questions the authenticity of Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, relying on reason and rejecting transmitted texts? And what is your advice to the youth who follow and are influenced by him?

Thanks to the questioner for his eagerness to clarify the truth and warn Muslim youth. The person mentioned is known for his deviance in multiple issues, including his stance on the noble Companions and scholars. Muslims are advised not to listen to his aberrations and deviations, and to take knowledge only from its known people, those who venerate the Sunnah (definition) and act upon it. Some of the Salaf said: "Indeed, this knowledge is religion, so look from whom you take your religion."
