The ruling on claiming to have seen the Night of Decree in a dream and spreading it among the people

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, may Allah reward you and benefit us with your knowledge. In Ramadan, and especially in the last ten nights, mobile phone messages are frequent. Some people say, “I saw a dream” or “I had dreams,” particularly on certain nights, and they spread this among the people. Or they say, “I saw the Night of Decree.” Is this action, meaning spreading it among the people, especially in the nights of worship and deeds, prescribed?

Answer:
No, this is not prescribed, and this action is not permissible, because this is guessing about the unseen. One does not order people to seek the Night of Decree on a specific night and say, “I saw the Night of Decree” or something similar. One does not do this. Yes.
