Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say they saw the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then went to inform the people that they saw him, and said that he said to them so and so. Is he to be believed in this, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
As for conveying commands and prohibitions to the people, this is not permissible. After the death of the Messenger, there are no commands or prohibitions. Commands and prohibitions are found only in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. As for dreams, no command or prohibition is ever established in them, and one does not convey this to the people. Yes.
