Is the interpretation of dreams a form of issuing fatwas?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is the interpretation of dreams part of issuing fatwas?

Answer:
It is a type of fatwa, but it is based on conjecture. It is not based on conjecture, nor is it for a legal ruling. It is for a legal ruling only in the case of the dreams of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them), for those are revelation. As for the dreams of other than the Prophets, they are conjectural.
explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions."أَفْتُونِي فِي رُؤْيَايَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّؤْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ
[Yusuf 12:43]
He said: “Give me an interpretation.” It is a type of fatwa, but it is built on conjecture.
And he said to the one whom he knew would go free, "Mention me before your master."وَقَالَ لِلَّذِي ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِي عِندَ رَبِّكَ
[Yusuf 12:42]
Yes.
