Explanation: Dream interpretation is not acquired, but rather an innate talent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is your opinion of one who says: Since dream interpretation depends on a person's innate talent, are there any Sharia guidelines for interpreting visions and dreams?
It is valid. Dream interpretation is not acquired, but it is something that Allah casts into the heart of a person. For this reason, you find some interpreters who are ignorant and know nothing of the religion, yet they still interpret dreams. With practice, it can become an acquired skill. There are no rules for a person to follow, because he may make many errors in application. The image of a vision may be the same, yet it differs greatly depending on the dreamer and the circumstances. However, what I advise our brothers is not to pay too much attention to this matter, because if they pay too much attention to it, Satan will play with them in their sleep. He will come to them every night and show them a vision that frightens them, and then they will seek someone to interpret it or explain it. Turning away from this is much better. If one sees something he dislikes, he should not try to have it interpreted. Rather, he should do as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded: he should spit to his left three times,And he says: (I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Satan and from the evil of what I saw) and he should not tell anyone about it. In that case, it will not harm him in any way.The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: [We used to see visions in our sleep and become ill from them. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told us this hadith, we were relieved] If you see something you dislike, do this, and do not strive to pursue visions.
