What is the reliable book for interpreting dreams that does not lead to falling into a legal (Sharia) error?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Interpreting dreams is a profound matter and a part of prophethood. It is not permissible for anyone other than a specialist to delve into it, because it varies according to individuals, circumstances, times, and the descriptions of the dreamers. Knowledge of it is intricate and requires deep understanding of contexts. Allah Almighty linked the knowledge of interpreting narrations with sovereignty in His saying: "My Lord, You have given me of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of narrations," [Qur'an 12:101] which indicates its importance.
