Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.):
To see yourself performing ablution (wudu) while someone is watching you indicates that your actions will inspire someone else to repent.

Allama Majlisi:
To perform ablution in a dream means you will be safe from the burden of other people’s debts or favors, and your needs will be fulfilled without dependence on others.

The Author:
To perform ablution with clean and clear water symbolizes success and the fulfillment of one’s desires.
If the water is impure, the interpretation is the opposite.

Performing ablution with clear water implies joy after sorrow, safety after fear, repayment of debt, and recovery from illness.

Jabir al-Maghribi:
To take ablution for prayer and then lose it (i.e., break it) indicates helplessness and distress as a result of an action or decision.

Nabulsi:
Seeing yourself taking ablution repeatedly with pure water in a dream is based on the hadith: “Ablution upon ablution is light upon light.” It suggests spiritual illumination and peace of heart.
Dreaming of ablution also signifies the resolution of one’s needs in the presence of powerful people.
If the ablution is completed with clean water, the dreamer will attain their goals. If not completed, the dream has the opposite meaning.
Ablution with substances not permissible for purification (e.g., milk, honey) suggests falling into debt.
Ablution in dreams generally symbolizes purity, divine protection, and spiritual grace across all religions.
If someone sees themselves taking ablution for prayer, it means they are under divine protection from their enemies, referencing God’s command to Moses (a.s.): “When you fear, perform ablution. Instruct your family to do the same. One who takes ablution is under God’s protection from fear.”
Taking ablution in a cold cellar or performing ghusl (full-body purification) in such a place means lost items will be recovered.

Ablution at a garbage site or near a sea where others are also purifying themselves signals relief from pain and sorrow.

If someone sees themselves taking ablution over their friend’s head, it means they will inherit or benefit from that friend.
If the opposite occurs, the dreamer will suffer harm, shame, or grief because of that friend.

Other interpreters say that performing ablution in a dream represents fulfilling a trust, repaying a debt, or giving testimony.

If a person completes their ablution in the dream, their sorrow is lifted, their fear fades, their debts are paid, their illness healed, and sins forgiven.

Failing to complete the ablution symbolizes failure to reach one’s goal.
Taking ablution with hot water or drinking it signifies grief, sorrow, or illness.
If someone wants to take ablution but finds no water, the dream means their goal will be hard to achieve at first but eventually made easier once purification is attained.
