Can the Antichrist (Dajjal), who is present in the Arabian Peninsula, transform himself and enter Mecca and Medina in our current time, or does that contradict the noble hadiths?

First: Islamic knowledge is concerned with what benefits people in this world and the afterlife. Delving into the details of tribulations (fitan) and the signs of the Hour without benefit is considered blameworthy knowledge.

Second: The true nature of the Dajjal before his emergence is among the unseen matters, regarding which one must refer to the authentic texts of revelation. It is not permissible to speak about it without knowledge.

Third: Ibn Sayyad is not the Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal) who will emerge at the end of time. The true Dajjal is bound with iron and will remain in this state until he is permitted to emerge. He does not transform or take on other forms.
