The ruling on informing the family of the deceased about seeing them in a dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: I saw a person in a dream who had passed away, and a conversation took place between us, in which he informed me that he is among the people of Paradise. The question is: Should I inform his family of this? And can I be certain that he is among the people of Paradise?
Answer:
In any case, I am not one who interprets dreams, but if the vision is a good one, you may inform people of it, if Allah wills. It does not harm the one who saw it if he keeps it secret and does not inform anyone of it or interpret it; in that case, it does no harm.
