Referring to a book and interpreting one's own dreams

Q: I have a book of Ibn Sireen (RA). I sometimes have dreams which have unpleasant interpretations.

  1. If this occurs what can be done for the interpretation not to become effective?
  2. If the interpretation is unpleasant, should the person take it to be as if its going to still happen or as if it will not happen?
  3. Is it good for a person look up all the dreams he has or not? If not, which dreams should he look up the interpretations?

Finding mince in the food

Q: I boiled saag (mustard leaves) in lassi (liquid yogurt). Then fried garlic in oil (In Urdu it is called tarraka laggana). After this I added boiled saag in oil. Later on I noticed that there is mince (qeema) mixed in saag. While none of our family members added mince, nor we had mince at home. A Hafizul Quran Qari sahib told us that it was from any Jinn etc. So throw this saag in the bin.

  1. I am worried from where this happened?
  2. Why did this happen?
  3. Please tell us any Wazifa / Wird.

Keeping Dogs

Q: Is it ok to touch a dog? What about the dogs saliva getting on your body? Is it true that we have to wash our body 3 times where the dog touches?

What should I do with shoes made from pig skin

Q: I have discovered that some of my shoes have been manufactured using pig material. I need to dispose of them. Do I give it to a non-Muslim or, do I put them into the garbage bin. I am concerned that we cannot give anything that is haraam for us to non-Muslims, as they potentially could be blessed with imaan, at some point in their life. I will appreciate your help in this matter.
