Ruling on whether most of Dajjaal's followers are women
6-4-2016 | IslamWeb
Question:
Is it true that the Dajjaal's (anti-Christ) followers are mostly females?
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Several scholars underlined that the majority of the followers of Ad-Dajjaal will be Jews, women, and Bedouins, as As-Saffaareeni 
stated in his book Lawaamiʻ Al-Anwaar Al-Bahiyyah. Shaykh Ibn ʻUthaymeen wrote, "Ad-Dajjaal will emerge from a road in an area between Syria and Iraq and will call the people to worship him. The majority of those who will follow him will be Jews, women and Bedouins. Seventy-thousand Jews from Isfahan (in present-day Iran) will follow him." [Lumʻat Al-Iʻtiqaad]
There is a relevant hadeeth with a weak chain of narration in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad that reads, "Most of his followers will be Jews and women." Scholars of hadeeth who revised the Musnad, i.e. Shaykh Shuʻayb Al-Arnaa’oot and others, stated that the chain of narration of this hadeeth is weak because of the weakness of 'Ali ibn Zayd ibn Judʻaan.
Imaam Ahmad narrated another authentic hadeeth indicating that most of the followers of Ad-Dajjaal will be women. It gives the same meaning of the previous hadeeth. Jaabir ibn ʻAbdullaah 
said:
"Once, the Messenger of Allaah stood over a high hill in Al-Harrah (a place on the outskirts of Madeenah) and then said (to the people), 'Madeenah is the most blessed place on earth. When Ad-Dajjaal comes out, there will be an angel at each of its entrances (to guard it against him), and then Madeenah will shake with its inhabitants thrice (i.e. three tremors will take place), and all the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will come out to follow him, and most of those who will come out to him will be women. That will be the day of purification. Madeenah will be cleansed of evil as the bellow cleanses iron of impurities. Ad-Dajjaal will be accompanied by seventy thousand Jews, each of them wearing a turban (or shawl) and armed with a decorated sword. He will be killed in this route near Mujtama' As-Suyool (in North-west Madeenah)."
Then the Prophet said, "There is no trial on earth until the coming of the Hour graver than the trial of the Dajjaal. Each and every Prophet has warned his nation about Ad-Dajjaal. I will tell you something that no Prophet before me has told his nation." He then placed his hand on his eye and said, "I testify that Allaah is not one-eyed." [Al-Albaani graded it saheeh (sound)] It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Katheer that he declared its chain of narration as good. The revisers of the Musnad declared the hadeeth authentic with its shawaahid (plural of shaahid, i.e. a hadeeth with a closely similar meaning reported from a different Companion through a different chain of narrators) and mutaaba'at (the mutabi' is a hadeeth confirmed by another narrator through the same chain of narrators from the same Companion without any change in the hadeeth).
Allaah knows best.
