The ruling on basing legal judgments on dreams

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you: A person claims that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream and that he informed him of such and such. Is his statement to be accepted?

Answer:
No, dreams are not to be used as a basis for legal rulings; rather, they are good news. Dreams are good news for people of good.
