Islamic Interpretation
Witnessing paralysis of the right hand in a vision signifies a grave transgression deserving such divine chastisement. This condition may also indicate earnings derived from usurious practices or acting unjustly toward someone impoverished and vulnerable. Should the left hand become paralyzed, it can foretell the imminent passing of a sister or brother. Paralysis of the thumb suggests forthcoming tribulations related to one's offspring. Affliction of the index or middle finger points to potential suffering connected to a sister. If the ring finger is paralyzed, it denotes coming distress or illness affecting one's mother or a close female relative. Paralysis of the little finger may indicate hardship stemming from a daughter. Generally, afflictions upon the hand in dreams symbolize brothers, while those upon the fingers represent children. Seeing the right hand paralyzed can signify the loss of one's livelihood. Paralyzed fingers collectively may reflect the commission of a serious sin. Paralysis of the right hand can also represent having inflicted significant harm upon an innocent person. (Also see Body, Physical paralysis)
