Question:
What some writers do in writing stories: they put at the beginning: "I saw in a dream that such and such happened," and they begin writing the story?
Answer:
What appears to me is that it is not permissible; it is from the forbidden lies, and it is one of the three.
Q: Does it fall under the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas?
The Shaykh: Yes.
