Q: I dreamt after istikhara  that my husband has passed stools all over our marital bed and also in my purse. On another day, again after reading istikhara I dreamt my husband was hiding in the middle of the night and talking to someone on the phone and in the dream I hear myself saying 'I knew he was interested in another woman'. Please let me know the tabeer of my istikhara dream.

Q: Three months before I got a son. But my son has no right ear. The right ear got microtia very little meat there like peanuts. The hearing in the right ear is also effected. I want to know why was my baby born with this defect? What does Islam say? My wife and I were doing wazifas to have a son. All reports during pregnancy were fine. Please tell me why God give me an abnormal son? Did  I commit some Gunaah due to which Allah Ta'ala is punishing me?
