1.

What is the interpretation of dreams that recurred after reading Surat Al-Mujadilah, involving seeing the private parts and attempting to touch them or a fluid coming out of them and drinking it, knowing the frequent prayers upon the Prophet and reading lengthy supplications before sleep? 3.

General brotherhood exists between all men and women by virtue of Allah’s Almighty saying: (Indeed, the believers are brothers). However, conversation and interaction between foreign men and women under the pretext of brotherhood in Allah is a deception from Iblis.

Rather, one must be cautious about interacting with her, looking at her, and speaking with her. It has been established that the human organs have a share in zina (fornication).
