What is the ruling on interpreting dreams and the extent of their connection to reality and the future, and is there a website that interprets them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Interpreting dreams is permissible for those who possess knowledge of it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Companions would interpret dreams. The interpreter may be correct or mistaken. It is not appropriate to interpret a dream for someone who is not knowledgeable about it. If one sees good, they should relate it. If they see otherwise, they should say something good or remain silent.
A dream can be righteous and true, or it can be a jumble of dreams, or it can be from Satan, and its interpretation may not conform to its apparent meaning.
