Expanding on the Interpretation of Dreams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your teacher, may Allah reward you? Some people interpret the dream they see. Yes. Some people interpret the dream they see, so if the dream interpreter tells him, for example, that he will be promoted, he abandons the work contrary to that destiny that the interpreter informs him of, and what happens to one like this
Answer:
I advise against expanding on the interpretation of dreams and visions; this is what has happened now. It has caused people to doubt, confined them, and created doubts, whispers, and evils in them. These people should fear Allah and not cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for the Muslims or distract them. It has reached the point where it has become a profession, a trade, and an occupation for people, causing doubt and creating illusions and whispers.
The interpretation of a dream is not certain, do you see? The interpretation of a dream is a guess, it is not certain. The interpreter may be right and may be wrong. Because it is ijtihad (independent legal reasoning). It is a guess. It is not certain or scientific. The interpreter may err and may be right, and his error, if he is not from the people of knowledge and insight, will be greater.
