Is the interpretation of dreams part of issuing fatwas? And the meaning of seeking a fatwa

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is the interpretation of dreams considered a fatwa (scholarly legal ruling), given that the Mighty One said to Yusuf (peace be upon him), “Ask me about the interpretation of my vision” or something similar?

The Shaykh:
A fatwa is specifically for clarifying a ruling in Islamic law. A fatwa can also concern matters that are not strictly legal; it is broader. Broader than legal matters. The meaning of a fatwa is clarifying something ambiguous, like the verse "So ask them, are they more powerful in creation or who We created?" This means asking them; it implies that you are requesting that they be asked to give you a fatwa. But this is in the category of asking a question: "Ask them" So seeking a fatwa or issuing a fatwa can be about legal matters, or it can be about non-legal matters where there are issues that require asking. A dream is not part of a fatwa; rather, it is for clarifying a meaning or providing an interpretation. This is called dream interpretation, and it is not a fatwa; rather, it is a prediction, an intuition, a prediction and intuition from the interpreter.

May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this poet asks: What should be done with those who write?

The Shaykh:
Now, seeking a fatwa on political matters is called a poll, but it is not a legal fatwa. This is merely stating an opinion: Is the person suitable or not? This is not a legal ruling; it is stating an opinion. What is your opinion on such-and-such? Yes.
