Is what the questioner saw in a dream regarding a deceased person who did not pray, lied frequently, engaged in sodomy, and committed suicide—and the recitation of the verses: "And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a difficult life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind." He will say, "My Lord, why have You gathered me blind while I was seeing?" [Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you ignored them; and thus will you today be ignored"—considered a vision? And can a definitive judgment be made that this person is being tormented in his grave, and is it permissible to seek forgiveness for someone like him?
What a sleeper sees in their dream does not establish a matter, nor can anything related to it be definitively asserted, especially concerning matters of the unseen. One must refrain from cursing the dead, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not curse the dead, for they have gone on to what they presented." It is not appropriate to judge Allah concerning His creation with regard to Paradise or Hellfire. One must strive to guide the living, and if they die, it is permissible to pray for mercy upon them and seek forgiveness for them, provided one is not certain they died upon disbelief.
