Is it good for a Muslim to believe in dreams, for example dreams where the dead demand the living ones to prepare food for Sadaqa?

Answer

If the deceased advises or instructs one in his dream to perform a virtuous act, while it is not necessary to do so, it is not prohibited either. If one carries out the advise, he will be rewarded.

What is the difference between lillah, sadaqah and zakaat?

“If you intend to give Nafl Sadaqah (optional charity), you may give it to anyone. However, if it is Zakat, then it must be given only to those who are eligible to receive it.”
