Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is your opinion on the book of dream interpretation? Do we believe in dream interpretations, or are they considered guessing about the unseen? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
These are books that are not relied upon, and they are not by trustworthy authors. They are either attributed in an unverified way, such as what is attributed to Ibn Sirin, which is not correct, or their authors are corrupt, like Abdul Ghani al-Balsi in *I'tir al-Anam* regarding dream interpretation. This man is known to be corrupt and a Sufi, and his words are not relied upon. In any case, the interpretation of visions is not taken from books; rather, the interpretation of visions is a gift that Allah gives to whomever He wills of His servants. Yes.
