If you see in your dream that someone orders you to do something, should you comply?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I see in my dream that someone orders me to do something, should I comply with it, as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) saw that he was to slaughter his son Isma'il and he complied?

Answer:
The dreams of the prophets are true revelation, not like the dreams of others. As for the dreams of others, they are a possibility, not a certainty; they are merely a possibility. It is not permissible to act upon a dream in prohibiting what is lawful or permitting what is forbidden; this is not permissible. This ended with the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The dreams of the prophets are true and are revelation from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Among these is the dream of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), which was revelation, and the dream of Yusuf (peace be upon him), which was true revelation from Allah. As for the dreams of others, it is possible that they are from the talk of the soul, or from confused dreams, or that they are a true dream. Allah knows best. One cannot assert with certainty that it is a true dream, but it is expected...
