Hallucinations and Islam: What’s the Connection?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: People hallucinate especially people with mental issues. They can be extremely happy compared to messianic visions. People even befriend characters that represent typical images for prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) or Isa (Alaihis Salaam). What is Islam’s view on this? 

Bismillaah

A: Hallucination is a mental problem. It is a mental weakness.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
