The questioner : Is it permissible to distort a dream when narrating it?
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : By adding to it or subtracting from it?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to distort the narration of a dream, nor is it permissible to lie about a dream, for lying about a dream is among the major sins, because a person is punished for it. Likewise, it is not permissible for anyone to interpret it if he is not one of the people of interpretation, meaning to expound it.
The questioner : Exegesis.
The Shaykh : And he expounds it while he is not one of the people of interpretation, exegesis, and knowledge, because he may interpret it contrary to what it is, and the matter will occur according to his interpretation, and this will result in great harm.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with the best reward.
