Classical meaning
(Peace be upon him) He said: Seeing the Prophet (Peace be upon him) in a dream cannot be true except in the case of two men: either a Companion who saw him or one who knows his description on the basis of Mutawaatir Hadeeths, until he formed an image in his mind, then if he sees him in that image, he has indeed seen his likeness. If this is the case with regard to one who has a parallel or likeness (i.e., a human being), then how about seeing One Who has no parallel or likeness (i.e., Allah)? Shaykh ‘Izz al -
Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.

Consult a knowledgeable person when the matter touches worship, family, or important choices.
