Is seeing only a part of the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) body in a dream, such as his feet, considered a valid vision, or must he be seen in full?
Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. It is not said to anyone that they saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream unless they saw him in his known form as described by the people of the characteristics. Whoever saw him in a dream will see him in wakefulness, and the devil cannot impersonate him. Whoever claims to have seen the Prophet must describe what they saw precisely; if they describe an attribute not known about him, then they did not see him. And whoever saw only the feet and the sandals is not considered to have truly seen him because this is not enough for the full vision of the image. And Allah knows best.
