The question

Is not the Hadith, "There is no prophet after me," mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari, contradictory to what has been authentically established that Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend and kill the Dajjal? And if it is said that he will rule according to the Sharia of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, then why will he not impose the jizya and give people the choice between Islam or death? Is this a change in the Prophet's Sharia, or is what is in Bukhari not authentic?

The answer

The Hadith stating that Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend at the End of Times and kill the Dajjal is an authentic and consecutively transmitted (mutawatir) Hadith, in which there is no room for doubt. It does not contradict the finality of prophethood with our Master Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, because the descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, will be as a ruler (hakim) according to the law (Sharia) of our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, not with a new prophethood. He will abolish the jizya and will accept nothing but Islam or death. This is not an abrogation of the Islamic Sharia; rather, it is an implementation of what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified.

A Muslim must remain firm upon the truth and not be led astray by the misconceptions spread by the people of misguidance. They must seek knowledge from its well-established scholars and keep away from the gatherings of those who spread doubts.
