Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have passed through the vision in which Abu Lahab was seen, and it was mentioned that his punishment was lightened because he freed Thawiybah.
The Shaykh:
His punishment was not lightened absolutely; it was only on the day of Tuesday. Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: So, is a dream vision taken into account in such matters, or is this specific to Abu Lahab?
The Shaykh:
A dream vision is true if it is not a jumble of dreams or mere self-talk; then it is true. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Legal rulings are not established based on it, because after the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), legislation ended, so legal rulings are not established based on it. Yes. The vision of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is revelation, and rulings are established based on it, but the vision of anyone else is not a basis for establishing a legal ruling. Yes.
