Q: I am a UK tax payer and donate to charities. These charities state that they have a 100% donation policy. I tick the gift aid box so the government contributed as well. This money from the government is used for admin costs and salaries by some charities. Is this permissible, as the government donates the money on the understanding that it will be used exclusively for the respective charity and not for admin costs?

Q: I made istikhara about whether a boy was right for me and it was meant for us to get married. My dream was as follows: I dreamt of 2 white men dressed like Buddhist monks approaching a big wall they needed to climb in order to enter a city, whilst climbing the wall they disappeared all of a sudden and I was climbing the wall, and thought that I was going to fall,I was holding onto some bodies leg but don't know who's, until I realised that I'm standing firm on the ground and that I am safe, I woke up after that. I am not sure if the dream even has any significance. But for the entire day, I have been feeling confident and happy and nothing could bring me down, not happy like on a normal day,but unusually happy. Was my istikhara positive?
