Cutting off

Category: Action

Islamic Interpretation

Cutting off one’s hand in a dream can point to neglecting obligatory prayers, gaining enough wealth to no longer rely on others, or turning away from sin. Having both the hand and heels severed suggests moral decline, withdrawing from spiritual gatherings, infertility, or being relieved of parental duties. Losing one’s nose or ear may reflect punishment, hardship, or being cut off from someone's news. Cutting off the tongue signals the collapse of one’s argument or being unable to make requests. Seeing oneself dismembered may indicate long journeys, the scattering of family members, breaking kinship ties, or facing financial penalties. (See also Beheading, Rupture of relations)
