The authenticity of Shaykh Ibn Baz’s vision of the Messenger ﷺ and his will to him

Question:
Your Eminence, it is rumored that you saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a dream and that he instructed you to close girls’ schools. There has been much questioning about the authenticity of this rumor. I ask you to please answer and guide people regarding such rumors. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, we have heard this rumor, and many people have asked us about it, by phone and otherwise. It is a false, invalid rumor with no basis in truth. I did not see the Prophet ﷺ, and he did not say these words to me. In fact, all of this is false and is a rumor of the devils, the devils of mankind and the jinn. In this rumor, they say that I saw the Prophet ﷺ twice and that he instructed me to tell the authorities to close girls’ schools. All of this is false, has no basis, and is a lie.
So I hope that whoever hears these words of mine will convey them to others and spread them among their brothers so that people know that this statement is false and that this vision does not exist. We ask Allah to reward the one who lied with what he deserves.

The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
