Interpretation of Dreams and Who Is Trusted in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Many people interpret dreams, so how do we know who is trustworthy and who is not? And do we interpret every dream?
Answer:
There is no doubt that some dreams are true, and there are interpreters who are known for this, known for their trustworthiness and religion, and whose truthfulness in interpretation has been tested. So there is no harm in asking them. However, one does not ask about every dream; one only asks about the important dream. As for matters that are jumbled dreams, or whispers from Shaytan, or things that are disturbing to the dreamer, he should keep them to himself and not interpret them. They do not harm him by the permission of Allah. What he dislikes, he does not interpret, nor does he seek an interpretation from anyone. Let him keep it to himself, and it will not harm him by the permission of Allah. Yes.
