Question:
I dreamed about colleague that was texting my future wife to be in the text it shows that the girl is non virgin and is a cheat then Shaykh Abdul Rahman appeared he didn’t want to answer following that Shaykh Hisham appeared asking me to take a pic of him.
Answer:
As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatuLlahi t’ala wa barakatu. Allah knows best, wa RasouluLlah sallaLlahu alayhi wa salaam, but this is a matter for you to exercise your best judgement. I don’t think you can condemn someone on account of a dream. Quran says you need four witnesses to the actual act. Even then the accused can deny the charge. Quran also warns against unjustly accusing a woman of being unchaste. An Islamic judge cannot use a dream to decide such a case, he can only use the actual evidence provided to him and testified to in front of him.
It may be that Shaykh Hisham was indicating that by “taking his picture”, it means to keep the Shari`ah firmly in your sight when deciding this matter, and not to rely on hearsay. Again, Allah knows best, wa RasouluLlah sallaLlahu alayhi wa salaam. May He make it easy for you and her to find the best way. Again, salaam.
Shaykh Abdul-Haqq Sazonoff
