Q: I made istikara a few times this week regarding marriage to a man. I asked for guidance from Allah whether he was my naseeb husband. No proposals/discussions have been made with families or anything, though. Last night I dreamt me and the man were walking down a mountain that was blanketed in clean, white snow. It was snowing profusely in the dream. I was watching us walk down from another person's perspective, if that makes sense. However, I was supporting him 100% down the mountain it's as though he couldn't walk himself, however the atmosphere was fun and we were very happy and laughing. And I didn't feel burdened by his weight, or cold at all from the ice or snow and enjoyed the walk down. I was happy and elated walking down the mountain.  I've read that white in an istikhara dream mean yes, however, I've read elsewhere in an islamic dream dictionary online that descending a mountain means losing rank or respect in the community.

My family is non-muslim unfortunately, but the man's parent's are Hajees. I am a revert of 2 years. 

1. Is this a positive answer to my istikhara? Is this man my naseeb husband?
2. If yes, could this relate to him losing standing in his community because of marrying me? (i.e because my family is unsuitable)
3. What is your recommendation based on this dream? Is this marriage a bad idea?
4. Is this *just* a dream?
5. Should I make Istikhara again?

Q: I read a mas'alah on http://www.thejamiat.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id… below:

"It is not permissible for a Hafiz who recited Taraweeh to receive remuneration for his Taraweeh recital. His Salaat will not be accepted if he takes a fee or ‘gifts’ for his Taraweeh performance."

But In the Masjid of our village, people collect money for Imaam (he leads taraweeh), and give him at the last night when he completes recitation of Whole Quran. Is it correct to do what is being done in our village?

س: 

السؤال الأول: إذا أعطى أحد للآخر الهدايا ظاهرا (بأن يرون الآخرون فعله) لأجل ترغيب الناس بالمهادات بينهم لكي تزاد المساعدة و الرحمة و المحبة بين المسلمين - هل له ثواب لمثل هذه النية (في إعطاء الهدايا ظاهرا)؟

السؤال الثاني: هل هناك أحاديث ثابتة تدل على أن من فعل فعلا حسنا ظاهرا لأجل ترغيب الآخرين بأن يفعلوا هذا الفعل الحسن - فله ثواب لمثل هذه النية؟
