In the event that someone perceives himself as impure and requires ghusl, his affairs will become disorganized. Any dream that results in seminal discharge, necessitating ghusl, cannot be interpreted. Because nighttime discharge is caused by one’s bad thoughts and the cursed Shaytaan’s promptings.
A True Incident:
Religious leader Muhammad Bin Sireen (RA)was approached by a
person who said that he saw a very shameful and disturbing dream and that he was ashamed to reveal it because of its nature. The Religious leader asked him to write down the dream on a sheet of paper. He wrote that he had been away from home for three months. During his absence he dreamed that he has returned home, finding his wife asleep on her bed while two sheep with horns were engaged in battle near her bed. The one injured the other. Because of this dream he has avoided approaching his wife and yet, by Allah, he loved her a great deal.
When the Religious leader read this letter, he said to him not to leave his wife as she was a chaste and honourable woman. He explained the dream thus: “When she heard that you were returning home shortly, in fact you were almost home, she urgently sought for something with which to remove her pubic hair. Finding nothing she chose to usea scissors rather. In her haste, she injured herself causing a deep wound on that part of her body. To conform this, go straight to her and see for yourself.”
The man went straight to his wife expressing his desire to fulfill his need. She said: “No! Not until you explain to me why you had avoided me for seven months!” He gave his explanation regarding his dream and the interpretation given by the learned Religious leader. Upon this she exclaimed: “The Religious leader has spoken the truth!” Then she took his hand and passed it over the cotton wool covering the wound. When he was satisfied he went back to the Religious leader to report his findings. The Religious leader praised and glorified Allah for having guided him to the correct interpretation of the dream.
