Background

Symbol: Spider

Source: Tafsir al-Ahlam al-Kabir (Ibn Sirin)

The spider indicates a cursed woman who abandons her husband's bed. The spider's web is weakness and feebleness. Whoever sees a spider in his house will see a weak, frail man.

Source: Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam (Al-Nabulsi)

The spider is a devout, ascetic man or a weaver. Killing it indicates expelling a corrupt man. Its house indicates weakness and lack of resourcefulness.

Source: Al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat (Ibn Shahin)

The spider is interpreted as a misguided man, woven into his sin. Whoever sees that he killed a spider will repent from a sin or move away from a bad friend.
