Seeing a leper pursuing one in a dream

Question

Question: The gist of the dream is this: for a year I have been seeing that a man with leprosy, whose whole body is covered with sores, is pursuing me; sometimes one man tries to catch me, and two more men torment me greatly; I run away, and these people want to seize me by force. I have seen this six times. Four days ago I saw in a dream that a white patch had appeared on my body, in two places. My sleep broke, I was very frightened; in the morning I looked and there is nothing on my body.

Answer

From the dream it appears that some rights of people remain owed by you. It may be that some cloth of those who come to have clothes stitched is left over, or it may be some other situation. Dreams of this kind are seen from consuming wrongful income. Think carefully and give to each person whose right is owed by you, and ask forgiveness, and also repent before Allah.
