The Authenticity of the Existing Books on Dream Interpretation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are the existing books on dream interpretation authentic and in accordance with the Shari'ah?

Answer:
No, there is nothing authentic in them. The existing books on dreams are mere embellishment, and I do not know how [they came about]. The book *Interpretation of Dreams* attributed to Ibn Sirin is not a chapter [of his work]; Ibn Sirin did not author a book on this, even though he is famous for interpreting visions. However, he did not write a book on this. Yes.
