Prepared on the basis of classical Islamic sources

You

I dreamed that I gave money to a deceased person. What does it mean?

Giving money to a deceased person in a dream is interpreted in the tradition of dream interpretation mostly as a reminder of a good deed, prayer or sadaqah to be done for the deceased. In the tradition receiving money is considered better than giving it; so giving money to the deceased may also point in general to an expense or a small loss. But if the money was given with the intention of a good deed on their behalf, the dream is understood as glad tidings of a good deed.

The symbols in your dream

  • Giving money to the deceased: Points to the deceased expecting prayer and sadaqah from you and to a good deed needing to be done on their behalf.
  • Money: In the tradition it is also interpreted as words; good money is kind words and knowledge, false money is bad words and deceit.
  • The deceased asking for and taking the money: Understood as a reminder of a debt, a right owed, or an unfulfilled bequest.
  • Giving the money reluctantly: May point to wealth leaving your hands or an unexpected expense.
  • The deceased taking the money and rejoicing: Points to the prayers and sadaqah done reaching them and gladdening them.

In short

A dream of giving money to the deceased reminds you that your bond with them continues through good deeds. The dream mostly asks you to give sadaqah on their behalf, to pray for them and, if there is one, to pay a right they owed. If the money left your hands reluctantly, the dream also reminds you to be a little more careful with your spending.

Advice

  • Give sadaqah on behalf of the deceased and recite Al-Fatiha for them.
  • If they left a debt or a right owed, try to pay it.
  • If the dream unsettled you, seek refuge in Allah and do not tell it to anyone; it will not harm you.

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
