Islamic Interpretation
Giving charity in a dream signifies warding off misfortunes, healing from sickness, gaining earnings, or upholding honesty. The same holds when one acquires wealth through rightful means, but offering a deceased animal, intoxicating drink, or funds obtained wrongly or mishandled as charity renders it invalid, leading the giver to follow wrongdoing and fall into transgression. A farmer facing poor yields who dreams of donating part of his seeds foretells abundant harvests and blessed produce. Donating charity to a wealthy individual in a dream may indicate facing financial hardship oneself or becoming dependent on that person. Giving charitable gifts to a woman of ill repute in a dream means she will turn away from her wrongful ways. Offering charity to a robber signifies that he will abandon his criminal activities. Charity in a dream can also represent overcoming the resentment of adversaries, countering an opponent's envy, curbing his aversions, or restraining wickedness overall. An individual filled with rage who dreams of quietly giving charity indicates that God Almighty has pardoned his fault of wrath. Distributing charity discreetly in a dream may further signify pursuing the companionship of influential figures or associating with scholarly circles. When a learned person is requested to contribute funds for charity and agrees in a dream, it means he will share his understanding with others. For a trader, it foretells aiding people through his commerce or instructing them in his profession. As a skilled worker, he will pass on his expertise. For someone facing difficulties or fearing certain matters, dreaming of providing food to a needy person enduring hardships means that worries and anxieties will vanish. Charity in a dream likewise represents glorifying the Lord, commitment to faith, paying respects at graves, and performing righteous acts. Spending wealth for the sake of God in a dream ensures receiving funds in reality. (Also see Alms tax, Endowment, Good deeds, Loan)
