What is the ruling on reading the novel "Antichristos," which contains unsubstantiated supernatural information, details about the Antichrist, and events for which the author provides no evidence, while also quoting some verses and hadiths?
The Center cannot rule on the mentioned novel due to the lack of complete access to it. Furthermore, the Center specializes in answering scholarly questions related to religious rulings, not in evaluating books and novels. The Center notes that it is not obligatory to respond to every suspicious book; rather, it might be better to let it die by overlooking it, as Imam Muslim mentioned in the introduction to his Sahih.
