The questioner:
If one sees a specific dream after the prayer for guidance in a decision, should one act on it or not? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
This varies depending on the nature of the dream.
The presenter:
Yes, yes.
The Shaykh:
If it is a dream that the person is inclined to believe is a true dream, he should take joy in it and act upon it. However, if it is merely a jumble of dreams or the talk of the soul, he should not pay attention to it, especially if it is a disturbing or frightening dream, for it is from Satan. He should leave it, reject it, and place his reliance on Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided us to the remedy for a disliked dream. If a person sees a dream he dislikes, he should turn from the side he was sleeping on to the other side, seek refuge in Allah, and spit dryly to his left three times. He should not tell anyone about it, and it will not harm him, if Allah wills. Yes.
