Ibn Seerin Interpretation: (Atonement; Penance) In a dream, a tithe collector represents someone who interferes in people’s business. Seeing the tithe collector in a dream also denotes adversities, calamities, heavy losses, disasters, or trials that befall a believer to direct him to repent, to wash his heart from impurities, and to free him from the burdens of his sins.
