Q: I seek clarity on my Istikhara which I recited for a marriage proposal. Day one I had a dream wherein I saw my car being stolen and nothing more. I continued reciting istikhara for the full seven days. I had no dreams / no feelings in the remainder of the 6 days. I was informed from the boys family that salatual istikhara was performed by his mother. She had much good feelings and felt very positive. I am rather confused and seek advise on my istikhara.
A: Your parents should do the necessary investigations of the person before confirming anything. If after following the necessary procedures your parents find the character, ways, habits, deeni values, etc. of the boy to be acceptable and your family elders are also happy and all of you are positive in this regards then you may go ahead. However, they should not make a commitment without fully knowing the boys condition.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
