The ruling on one to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave advice in a dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man sees the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream and he gives him advice about something: should he act on this advice?
Answer:
If it is good, if it does not contradict the Shari'ah; then it is fine.
But if it contradicts the Shari'ah, then he knows that it is not the Messenger, and that it is not a true vision. If he sees him in sleep advising him about his parents, advising him to maintain the prayer, advising him about zakah, advising him about jihad, all of these are good; these are signs of good.
Q: If he sees him with his attributes (peace and blessings be upon him) and then asks him for a ruling on a question and he answers?
The Shaykh: It is to be presented to the Book and the Sunnah; because the Shari'ah is complete, and it ended with his life (peace and blessings be upon him).
Q: Like some of the imams of hadith who ask the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) about a hadith?
The Shaykh: Yes, the point is that if one sees in sleep something that contradicts the Shari'ah, it is not acted upon, and if it agrees with the Shari'ah, it is not contradicted. The Shari'ah was completed during his life (peace and blessings be upon him).
