Is it good for a Muslim to believe in dreams, for example dreams where the dead demand the living ones to prepare food for Sadaqa?

Answer

If the deceased advises or instructs one in his dream to perform a virtuous act, while it is not necessary to do so, it is not prohibited either. If one carries out the advise, he will be rewarded.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
