Mixing dream interpretation with treatment using sidr, antimony, and salt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a common practice. One of the dream interpreters interprets a dream as a treatment, which is that one takes a kilo of sidr, a kilo of antimony, and a kilo of salt, and then takes from it
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
One of the dream interpreters interprets a dream as a treatment, which is that one takes a kilo of sidr, a kilo of antimony, and a kilo of salt,
The Shaykh:
This is a mixing of interpretation with medicine; the interpretation does not enter into the medicine, and the interpretation is interpretation while the treatment is treatment without interpretation. This is truly a mixing, and it is not permissible for this to be promoted among the people. This person must be prevented from this deception of the people. There is no connection between interpretation and treatment; treatment is one thing and interpretation is another.
As for sidr, the scholars mentioned it, as in Fath al-Mujid and other works, that it is used to treat sorcery. One takes seven sidr leaves and greenery, grinds them, puts them in water, and bathes with it. This is mentioned in Fath al-Mujid and other works. As for linking this to dream interpretation, this is mixing and deception of the people. Yes.
