Q: My son has seen a girl in our town and is interested in proposing to her. He would like to do it the correct way by approaching the parents to ask her hand.
However, he would like to first make Istikhara to see if she is a suitable spouse. As his parents, we feel she would be a good match as she is a homely girl who doesn't gallivant the streets and keeps to herself.
Please provide us with the Istikhara dua or namaaz that he can read in order for him to make his decision.
Q: Can Dua-e-istikhaarah be performed for trivial decisions, or should it be reserved for major life choices?
Q: My question is regarding istikhara. I performed istikhara regarding a person and recently found out something that would be counted as an obstacle/barrier between me and this person. So I understand that Allah is showing me there is no good in this matter and so my question is that does this mean that this person will never be good for me or perhaps that this person is not good for me in this moment. And I am transgressing against Allah by hoping that we could perhaps reunite, since I genuinely believe this person is good for my deen and aakhirah and I am saying that based on me ignoring my desires and thinking hard whether or not this perosn will help me get closer to Allah.
Q: Can I do istikharah for knowing the truth or is there any dua for revealing the truth?
Recently, I have been stuck into some confusions and doubts about my partner. But I really don't know if he is telling the truth or not. I saw many hints that's why I just cannot put trust on him. It's killing me inside. I cannot concentrate in my daily work. I don't know if it's true or shaytan is making me think things? So I badly want to know the truth so that I can stable my mind and move on. Is there any solution or any dua?
Q: What is dua for istikharah? And After performing istikharah, is there a certain number of days one should wait before making his final decision?
Q:
1. Can one pray istikhaarah (for marriage) while on menstruation?
2. Is a good feeling a sign of a positive istikhaarah?
Q: I want to read isthikaara for a marriage proposal. How many days should it be read for?
Q: Does a positive istikhaara necessarily mean that the action will be carried out? Does that mean it is decreed?
Q: Is it possible for the istikhaarah to come out wrong or bad if you give the mother’s wrong name?
Q: I made istikhara (2 prayers after ishaa and dua) but I got no response. I made it many times before but got no response.
My question is, can I make istikhara dua before I go to sleep? Can I pray 2 rakats istikhara after ishaa and then make the istikhara dua just before I go to sleep?
