Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. A man saw a vision in which he entered a grave containing pitchers and vessels made of gold and green glass. Then he asked about the owner of this grave, and he was told it belonged to so-and-so and so-and-so. What is the ruling on this vision?
The Shaykh:
If Allah wills, we hope it is a good one. I do not know how to interpret visions, but on its face, it appears to be a good one, if Allah wills.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, many people have become accustomed to eating while standing in the cemetery, eating their food right there inside the cemetery.
The Shaykh:
The rule regarding a vision is that if it is a good one, you should tell people about it. But if the vision is not a good one, you should keep it secret and not interpret it. Keep it secret and do not interpret it, and it will not harm you, if Allah wills. Keep it secret, do not mention it to anyone, and do not interpret it yourself by saying it means this or that. Leave it alone, and it will not harm you, by the permission of Allah.
