The Ruling on Books of Dream Interpretation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are people who read in books of dream interpretation and rush to them at every dream or vision. What is the Shaykh’s opinion on that?
Answer:
There are no established books on dreams; rather, these are conjectures. The book attributed to Ibn Sirin is not authentic; Ibn Sirin has no book on this. Interpreting a vision is not something taken from a book. It is an intuition that Allah places in some people. Some people interpret them, and they come true as they interpreted them. Yes. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
