Istikhaarah to see one's future spouse

· 2 Rabiʻ II 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

How can we perform a istikhara to see with whom Allah Ta'ala has written your name? Who'll be my spouse I desperately want to know for some issues in our family relationships.

Answer

Istikhara is a dua through which one seeks goodness from Allah Ta'ala for some thing permissible one wishes to carry out in the future (e.g. nikaah, business, etc). Istikhara is not carried out to gain knowledge of the future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

“Before nikaah, all premarital contact is not permissible. Hence, speaking to the girl one is proposed to is not permissible and regarded as a sin. This type of premarital contact then leads to the boy and girl getting involved…”
