Fatwa #26607 April 2001United States of America

There is a particular brother that I am interested in from marriage. I have performed Istikhara several times. I get mixed responses. What to do?

Question

What I mean by mixed responses is that my heart and mind right after I wake up is inclined in one way, however the people that I am surrounded with give me negative feed back. Which is the best to follow?

Answer

Respected Brother-in-Islam

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

We suggest you discuss the negative responses with your seniors as well as
continue with Istikhaara.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
