The ruling on one who sees in a dream that the Shaykh answers his questions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
On many nights, I see in a dream that I am in your class, Your Eminence, and I have some issues, so I ask you about them and you answer me! What is the ruling on the answer, O Shaykh?
I do not recall this, nor do I feel that you are asking me when I dream. Do not rely on this. If you hear it from the tape, there is no harm, but we do not study dreams.
They say: Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him)—Ibn al-Qayyim narrated from him in *I'lam al-Muwaqqi'in*—once had some issues in religion that were difficult for him, so he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) in a dream. And whoever sees the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) in a dream in his true form, it is the truth,So he asked him about things, among them: that he brought the funerals of people of innovation, and we do not know if they are Muslims or disbelievers?So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: (Stick to the condition, O Ahmad) and Ibn al-Qayyim is trustworthy and Shaykh al-Islam is trustworthy,And the Messenger saying: O Ahmad.
Its meaning is: that he knows some of the names, peace and blessings be upon him,And his statement: (Stick to the condition) This ruling does not contradict the condition, for the exception by supplication is permissible, in Surat al-Nur, regarding the ruling on those who swear oaths of mutual accusation, the husband says: [al-Nur: 7] and she says: [al-Nur: 9] and in the supplication of istikharah: (O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me) So this dream does not contradict the rulings in wakefulness, so it is acceptable. So if such a thing is true and it happens that one sees the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) in a dream in the form he is in and he gives you a fatwa, we look at it after we present this fatwa to the Shari'ah.
As for me, do not take anything from me by dream. If you bring the issues and present them to us, they may be correct.

And the fifth [oath will be] that the curse of Allah be upon him if he should be among the liars.
وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَthat the wrath of Allah be upon her if he was of the truthful.
أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَAs for me, do not take anything from me by dream. If you bring the issues and present them to us, they may be correct.
