The Ruling on Dream Interpretation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on what is called dream interpretation?

Answer:
Dreams. Yes. If dream interpretation comes from a person known for his religion and creed, and known for the truthfulness of his interpretations, there is no harm. Dreams have interpretations. True dreams certainly have interpretations. This is found in the Qur'an, where those who asked Yusuf (peace be upon him) to interpret for them, and the king, when he saw the vision, asked the nobles to inform him of its meaning, and it ended with Yusuf (peace be upon him), who interpreted it. If the man is known for trustworthiness, known for his religion, soundness of creed, and has a track record of being correct most of the time, it is not necessary that he be correct in everything, because the interpretation of visions is only an opinion, it is only an opinion and intuition; he may be correct and he may be wrong. But if he is known for trustworthiness and known for his religion, there is no harm in asking him to interpret a vision. Yes.
