Summary
Dreams are a normal part of human sleep, but not every dream can be interpreted. Scholars divide dreams into three kinds: divine dreams, dreams from Satan and dreams from the self, and only the first kind is fit for interpretation. An interpretation does not necessarily match what appears in the dream and may differ according to a person's circumstances, so one should consult pious and knowledgeable people skilled in dream interpretation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam hal ini, mimpi yang wajar ditafsirkan adalah mimpi yang pertama sahaja. Bukan yang kedua dan juga yang ketiga.
