The ruling on seeing the Angel of Death in a dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Two weeks before the Shaykh passed away, he said: I saw in a dream that I was in the Shaykh's gathering. He says: I had not visited the Shaykh. He says: It was as if we were sitting in the gathering. Then the Shaykh said: Have you seen the one who left? We are seeing, but we did not see anyone. The Shaykh meant it was thick. I was amazed at how he said this. He said: This is the Angel of Death who came to take my soul, and I give you good news that my dwelling place is good. Allah. I saw dwellings, so give good news about them. May Allah reward you for this vision. He says: We were in the Shaykh's gathering. He said to us: What is permissible, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
This was in a dream.
