Are Sharia rulings based on visions and seeing the Prophet in a dream?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This one also, may Allah preserve you, says: If I see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream, and he informs me of a Sharia ruling, or a Sharia command, am I allowed to act upon it?
The Shaykh:
No. Visions are not the basis for rulings. Rulings of what is lawful or forbidden are not based on them. They are not based on anything except evidence from the Book and the Sunnah, or scholarly consensus. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: The people of intuition
The Shaykh:
You do not know the Messenger, you do not know the distinctive characteristics of the Messenger. Satan may come to you and say, "I am the Messenger," and command you and forbid you. Yes.
