Mohataram Mufti Saheb,

Assalmualaikum.

 

 

 

Jazakallah for your noble effort may ALLAH abundantly reward you.

I am living in India and looking for marriage and met a girl on net from North America she is divorcee we are in contact with email for last four month we exchange regularly our views mostly for Deen and I feel she having good religious value and affection for Deen and she want to marry any religious person. I am not much pious but Alhamdulillah having sound aqeeda and try my best to follow commandment of ALLAH and Sunnah of our beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam. Her parents are living here in and she is living alone there. Now she ask me to meet her parents for proposed or proceed for marriage. I had asked her you did istekhara in this regards she told me yes but didn’t get any clear intention. So I had decided to make istekhara before taking any step. And yester day I did at night and find very negative feelings then go directly in bed and ask ALLAH to guide me and with Zikr I slept and wake up in midnight at that time I remember that I saw some dates (Kahjoor) in my dream after that I pray Tahajjud and again pray for istekhara and at that time didn’t get any clear intention and again slept and when wakeup in Fajar I remember a dream at that time I see a beautiful girl completely in hijab but with bare face. And then after fajar at the time of Israk again pray for istekhara and feel good. Still I want to do istekahara for more six day but can you guide me what I have to decide with this first day outcome?
