Relying on Visions in Dreams and What One Does When Seeing Something That Frightens Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, Sabri, who resides in Dammam, says: Is it permissible to rely on visions in dreams? And if a Muslim sees something that frightens him from these visions, what does he do?
Answer:
Visions are not the basis for a legal ruling, because a ruling is only established based on evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. No rulings are issued after the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the basis of a vision. However, visions may be nightmares or the talk of the soul, which are nothing. They may be from Shaytan to harm the person, so the person should not pay attention to them. Rather, he should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan so that this vision does not harm him, and he should not mention it to people.
The third type is the vision that is a true vision, which is from the angel. This is good news for the believer. So if he sees something that pleases him, let him tell others about it and ask about its interpretation, because it is a vision of good. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
