The ruling on a person showing his dream to someone whose knowledge he does not trust
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is it permissible for a person to relate a dream, or to seek its interpretation from an unknown person whose identity and condition he does not know? Is it permissible for a person to display his dream publicly to seek its interpretation? And what are the conditions that must be met in the interpreter?
Answer:
The interpretation of dreams is a reality, but it does not rely on certainty; rather, it is an opinion based on opinion. It was said:[Yusuf 12:42] The interpretation of dreams is nothing but an opinion; it is not certainty, but rather an expectation. As for the interpretation of dreams, if the interpreter is trustworthy and well-known, you may ask him if you are concerned about this dream. However, the best thing is that you do not concern yourself with dreams, that you leave them alone, and that you seek refuge in Allah from them; this is the best. Yes.
But if it is necessary, you choose the most knowledgeable of people in interpreting dreams, and the most secretive and most trustworthy among them. Do not publicize your matter among people, or on television, or on the radio, or in the newspapers. This is an exaggeration in the interpretation of dreams, and it allows those who are not skilled to enter the field and lie to people.

Answer:
The interpretation of dreams is a reality, but it does not rely on certainty; rather, it is an opinion based on opinion. It was said:
to the one whom he knew would go free, "Mention me before your master."
لِلَّذِي ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِي عِندَ رَبِّكَBut if it is necessary, you choose the most knowledgeable of people in interpreting dreams, and the most secretive and most trustworthy among them. Do not publicize your matter among people, or on television, or on the radio, or in the newspapers. This is an exaggeration in the interpretation of dreams, and it allows those who are not skilled to enter the field and lie to people.
