What is the interpretation of seeing a deceased mother in a dream accompanying another woman in her bathing place, knowing that this vision differs from ordinary dreams?
Seeing a deceased mother in a dream is permissible, and the souls of the living and the dead may meet in a dream. This is indicated by the Almighty's saying: "Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die during their sleep. Then He withholds those for whom He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term." Many scholars, such as Sa'id ibn Jubayr, Al-Suddi, and Al-Tabari, among others, have adopted this view. Ibn Al-Qayyim extensively elaborated on proving this, and it is what Ibn Al-Salah and Al-Saffarini preferred. However, the connection of the souls of the dead with the living outside of dreams has not been proven.
