What is the ruling on believing in the interpretation of a dream vision?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to believe a dream interpreter known for their uprightness and truthfulness, especially if it is the dream of a righteous believer, because their dreams rarely lie.

However, a dream does not form the basis of a Sharia ruling; it is merely good tidings for its beholder.
