ILHAAM

Ilhaam is a revelation of a lesser category. This type of revelation comes to the Auliyaa (the Saints of Allah). Ilhaam is not free from contamination. External influence can affect Ilhaam. For this reason the Ilhaam of a Wali is not a source of the Shari'ah nor is it binding upon others.

If the Ilhaam is in conformity with the Shari'ah, it will be accepted. If it is in conflict with the Shari'ah, it will be rejected.
