Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: One who sees the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream, is it obligatory for him to give charity? And is it permissible for him to tell anyone about it?
Answer:
Charity is not obligatory; he is not required to give charity. As for seeing the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), this only occurs for one who knows the description of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If he sees him with the description of the Messenger, then it is a true vision. As for merely saying "I am the Messenger," it is possible that it is a devil saying "I am the Messenger." It is not valid unless he knows the description of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that distinguishes him from others. This is a true vision.
