Emergence of Yajooj and Majooj
Question
I would like to know if its possible that Yajooj and Majooj are out or will they only come out after the Mahdi? Is it possible that they are a nation amongst us? I have heard someone say they are the Russians or Europeans.
Answer
According to the hadeeth they will emerge at the time of Isa (alaihis salaam).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
