Is a dream in which a sleeper sees someone whom he believes to be the Messenger, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, without seeing his face or features, only seeing his black hair, considered a true vision that necessitates seeking an interpreter for it? Or is it among the dreams that should not be paid attention to?

Seeing the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream is a truth, and Satan cannot impersonate him. However, it is a condition that the dreamer sees him in his true form as he was. So, if someone saw only the hair of a man without his face and the rest of his body, then he did not see the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It is better to disregard such a dream, and it is not obligatory to seek someone to interpret it.
