A man saw in his dream someone ordering him to give charity; is it prescribed for him to give charity based on the vision?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If a man sees a dead person in his dream and the person calls out to him to give charity in order to ward off death from him, is this act prescribed, and is it permissible to perform the charity based on that?

The Shaykh:
After the passing of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), nothing is prescribed, neither charity nor anything else. The religion ended with the passing of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was completed by that. One gives charity without a dream and without a vision; the door is open, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has commanded charity. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
If the dead person comes to you and says, "Fast, give charity, pray," do not obey him. This is not permissible. There is no command except for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and nothing is prescribed except by the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
