The question

Is it permissible to continue communicating with a woman who interprets dreams and prescribes Qur'anic verses and supplications (adhkar) according to the state of the supplicant, and asks for the reward of her recitation to be dedicated to the Prophet and some Awliya (saints), and claims that she follows the path of the "people of the Tariqa (Sufi order)"?

The answer

The answer describes a woman who mixes truth with falsehood, and she might have good intentions despite her ignorance of religious matters. Among her correct actions are: interpreting dreams if she is proficient at it, encouraging remembrance (dhikr) of Allah, reciting the Quran, and performing legal Ruqyah (exorcism), caring for her husband and children, and avoiding sins. As for her errors, they include: vicarious Istikhara (guidance prayer) which is impermissible, claiming knowledge of the unseen in determining the source of affliction, which may indicate dealing with jinn. Also, dedicating the reward of Quranic recitation to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which is not legislated. The advice concludes with avoiding this woman and seeking individuals who are upright in their belief and actions for dream interpretation and Ruqyah.
