Hadith Question
Question
I read in one hadith that the Mahdi will come out at the death of the Khalifa and the dispute of the next khalifa. Does that mean that the khillafat has to be re established before he appears?
Answer
The Hadith in question refers to the Muslim ruler of that area.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
