A Printed Pamphlet About an Alleged Vision in Madina
Question
I submit the request that I am sending a printed pamphlet; such pamphlets are being printed and hand-copied in great numbers and distributed. As stated at the end of the pamphlet, material benefit is promised to whoever distributes it, and ruin is threatened for whoever takes it to be false — is this correct or not? And if this is a good deed, is it permissible to do it out of greed for money, or not?
Answer
The closing of the door of repentance and the nearing of the Hour are mentioned repeatedly in the hadiths, and as time passes both draw ever nearer; no one’s dream is needed for this. The command to repent of sins is stated in the Noble Qur’an, and every person ought to keep repenting at all times.
