is different from that, he will have trouble. One of them said: Death signifies regrets for major sin. Another of them said: If he dreams that he died without being ill andwithout looking dead, he will live a long life. If he thinks in his dream that he will never die, he will be killed inJihad. If he dreams that a known deceased person died again and theywept for him without screaming, one of his offspring will get married,and their weeping for him is indicative of happiness. And it was saidthat it means that one of his offspring will die. If he dreams that deathis spreading rapidly in a place, then a fire will occur in that place. If hedreams that he died naked on the ground, he will become poor. If hedreams that he died on a carpet, he will have luxuries of this world. Ifhe dreams that he died on a bed, he will rise in status. If he dreams thathe died on a mattress, he will get something good from his family. Death of a Ruler The death of a ruler is indicative of destruction of the land, just asthe destruction of the land is indicative of the death of the ruler. Death of Family Members If he dreams that his son died, he will be relieved of his enemy. If he dreams that his daughter died, he will despair of relief. If he dreamsthat his wife died, he will become independent of means by his wealth,and his status may be lowered, because the wife is concealment. If hedreams that he died and the things that are done for the deceased weredone for him, such as washing and shrouding, then his religious affairswill become corrupted and his worldly affairs will improve. If a pregnant woman dreams that she died and was carried, andpeople were weeping for her without making a sound, she will givebirth to a child who will be a delight to her. Dying then Coming Back to Life If a man dreams that he died then came back to life, he will have agood life and will repent if he was a sinner, and he will attain glory andhonour, because Allah says: “Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance anddisbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) andset for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men— like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism andhypocrisy) from which he can never come out?”[Al-An’aam 6:122] It may also be indicative of something else. A man said: I dreamt that I died and then I came back to life. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: Did you travel and then come back? He said: Yes. Another man dreamt that and he said: Were you in prison and then were released? He said: Yes. Another man said: I dreamt that I died and stood before Allah, and then I came back to life. He said: You travelled and met a person of high status, then you came back. Another man said: I dreamt that I died and came back to life several times. He said: You suffer from epilepsy that may come at any time. Ghusl If a person dreams that he did Ghusl with clean water that wascold in summer or hot in winter, it is indicative of debts being paidoff and needs being met, because the dirt that is causing annoyance isbeing removed. It may also be indicative of being on good terms withprominent people, because after that he stands before Allah, may He beExalted, to pray. If he does Ghusl with dirty water or with cold water in winter or hotwater in summer, that is indicative of troubles, poverty, diseases andimprisonment. If he dreams that he washed himself, it indicates thathis clan will be relieved of distress and grief, and that their wealth willincrease, because his limbs are indicative of his relatives. If he dreamsthat a man washed him properly, he will repent at his hands from sin. In dream interpretation, the one who washes the deceased representsa helpful man who saves people from distress. A man said: I dreamt that I was washing the dead. Shaykh Shihaabud-Deen said to him: You will become a bathhouse attendant. A womandreamt that and he said: You will become a midwife, carrying babieswho cannot do anything, like the dead. And it all turned out as he said.If he dreams that he is on the washing board, he will rise in statusand his worries will disappear. If he dreams that a dead person askedsomeone to wash his clothes, it indicates that he (the deceased) wantssomething to be given in charity or a debt to be paid or a will to beexecuted. If he dreams that someone washed his clothes for him, itindicates that that man is going to cause some reward to reach him. Shroud If he dreams he is wrapped in a fine shroud in his dream, he will getmarried if he is single or he will buy a slave woman, because the shroudis like a garment. If he is poor, he will become independent of means,because the shroud covers and conceals; or he will buy a house, because he is inside the shroud as he is inside the house. If he is naked, he willbe clothed, but if he is sick, he will die, because the shroud is one of thesigns of death. If he is in a position of authority, he will be dismissed,because the shroud is tied around him and he is unable to move hisbody or his hands or his feet. And he may be imprisoned, because theperson who is in prison cannot act as he wishes, just like the one who iswrapped in the shroud. One of them said: Wearing a shroud is indicative of Zina. If he iscalled to wear a shroud and he does not respond, he will be called tocommit Zina and will not respond either. If the shroud is of poor qualityor it smells bad or is torn, there will be trouble, sickness and prison. Hanoot (Perfume That is Applied to the Deceased) Hanoot is indicative of relief from distress, repentance of the evildoerand praise. If a person dreams that he asked for help from someone tobuy Hanoot, he will ask for help from a man to praise him in gatherings,because Hanoot takes away the unpleasant odour of the dead body. Bier Being carried on the bier without screaming is indicative of a rise instatus and being appointed to a position of authority, because of beingcarried on people’s shoulders. It is also indicative of comfortable travel,of becoming rich for one who is poor, becoming richer for one who isrich, and meeting loved ones. The same applies to crucifixion. In bothcases, if it is accompanied by screaming, slapping the cheeks, wearingblack, uncovering the ‘Awrah or laughing in a bad manner, or if thecrucified person is upside down, or if the person is lying on his facein either case, and so on, that is indicative of troubles and scandals. Crucifixion may also be indicative of sickness in the throat, such asquinsy.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
