An Aalim may have been a 'bid'ati', but he dies a good death or people in their dream see him in a very good status.

Answer

Always bear in mind that the criterion to follow is the Shariah, not the dreams of people regardless of how beautiful the dreams may be and no matter who sees the dreams and whom they see in their dreams nor be deceived by the good Maut a person has. Allah Ta'ala has different relationships with people. But we cannot fathom Allah's wisdom. Our obligation is to follow the Shariah, not dreams and signs. Dreams have interpretations. Sometimes people misinterpret their dreams and take wrong meanings. If a dream is in conflict with the Shariah, it shall be set aside. A dream may not be cited as proof for an act which is in conflict with the Shariah.
