Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person sees in a dream that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commands him to do something or forbids him from something, is it obligatory for him to adhere to that?
Answer:
No. After the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no command or prohibition except what the Messenger commanded or prohibited during his lifetime. As for dreams, no legal rulings are established based on them, except the dreams of the prophets, for those are revelation from Allah.
