Classical meaning

banner is indicative of scholar or an ascetic or man who isvery well off and is taken as an example to follow by the people. Awoman dreamt that she buried three banners, and Ibn Sireen said to her:You will marry three noble men and they will be killed whilst they aremarried to you. And that is what happened. Banners are indicative ofwar; yellow banners are indicative of sickness among the troops; greenbanners are indicative of travelling for good purpose; white bannersare indicative of rain; and black banners are indicative of drought. If a man dreams that in his hand there is a flag, he will become wellknownin his land. If the one who is confused sees it in his dream, hewill be guided. Mangonel When the mangonel is throwing missiles, it is indicative of slander and false accusations. If it is used to attack a fortress of the Kuffar with the aim of conquering it, the dreamer will call his people to good. Therock or missile of the mangonel signifies a powerful envoy. If a woman throws a rock at the dreamer, she will bewitch him orengage in some crafty plot against him. Drums The drum is indicative of false news coming to the dreamer. If theskin of the king’s drum is torn, that is indicative of the death of theone who brings him news. If he dreams that someone left a drum andbanners at the door of his house, it indicates that he will be appointed toa position of authority. A trumpet made from an animal’s horn refers toa servant who has authority. Killing If a person dreams that he killed someone, he will do somethingserious, and it was said that he will break the fast of Ramadan deliberately,because the expiation for breaking the fast in Ramadan is the same as the expiation for killing a person accidentally. And it was said that it isindicative of relief from stress, because Allah says: “Then you did kill a man, but We saved you from greatdistress.” [Ta-Ha 20:40] And the one who kills and the one who is killed (in a dream) maybe forced to commit sin. A woman dreamt that she killed her husbandwith some other people. He said to her: Did you force your husband tocommit sin? She said: Yes. If he dreams that he is killing a man without slaughtering, the victimwill get something good from the killer. Or it was said that the victimwill be given victory, because Allah says: “And whoever is killed wrongfully (Mazlooman intentionallywith hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have givenhis heir the authority [to demand Qisaas, - Law of Equality inpunishment - or to forgive, or to take Diyah (blood money)].”[Al-Isra’ 17:33] Slaughter The basic principle is that slaughter, if it is with regard to somethingthat it is not permissible to slaughter, represents wrongdoing, becausewrongdoing is indicative of doing something inappropriate. This dreamindicates that the slaughterer is calling the victim to misguidance. Aman said to Ibn Sireen: I dreamt that I killed a boy and roasted him. Hesaid: You are going to commit wrongdoing towards this boy by callinghim to something Haraam and he will obey you in that. If a person dreams that he ate some of his flesh that was cooked, hewill get something good from him. A man said to Ibn Sireen: I dreamt that I slaughtered my sister. Hesaid: You have cut off ties with her. A man said: I dreamt that a man slaughtered his wife. He said: Thisman should have come yesterday from a journey and had intercoursewith h is wife. And that is what happened. If the dreamer sees a ruler killing a man and putting him on the neckof the dreamer without his head, this means that the ruler is wrongingthat one who was killed until he made him poor, then he will ask theone who is carrying him to pay some penalties which will be more orless according to how heavy or light the slain person is. Moreover, if theslain person is recognized, then he is the one who will be wronged; ifhe is not known and he is an old man, the dreamer will b e asked to paythe penalty of behalf of a friend; if (the slain person) is a young man, hewill be asked to pay a penalty of behalf of an enemy. If the slain personstill has a head, he will not be asked to pay a penalty.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
