Question

People hallucinate especially people with mental issues. They can be extremely happy compared to messianic visions. People even befriend characters that represent typical images for prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) or Isa (Alaihis Salaam). What is Islam's view on this?

Answer

Hallucination is a mental problem. It is a mental weakness.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
