Guidance for Interpreters of Visions and Dream Interpreters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please proceed with the first question. I hope you will direct a word, even if it is simple, to our brothers who are interpreters of visions and dream interpreters. They have appeared in recent times, interpreting dreams and explaining visions, and many people have become preoccupied with this matter. The second question. Okay, wait a moment, let the Shaykh answer, the Shaykh, wait a moment, thank you, Naif.

Answer:
Yes, visions that are not confused dreams have an interpretation without a doubt, and they have a figurative interpretation (ta'wil), but not everyone is able to interpret them. This is something Allah places in some people, so they should seek to be careful about what appears to them from the interpretation of visions, and they should not rush. They should not make it a profession or trade, because if they do so, meaning if they take a fee for it, their interpretations and figurative interpretations (ta'wil) are suspected. They should fear Allah. Whatever contains good and has a good interpretation, they should reveal it, and whatever is other than that, they should not make it clear, nor should they sadden people or frighten them with it. Yes.
