I received good proposal & everything about the guy is perfect.I did istekharah for 2days nd both days noone spoke about the proposal. Then again my family came up with it again nd this time i made istekharah asking Allaah to let my mom nd the guy’s mom fix the talk if its beneficial for me. But the next day the phone network didn’t work & they cudnt talk. Is this a negative sign?

Some days ago, my family was introduced to a practising Muslim for marriage. I did istikhara but I am confused regarding results. My day did not go well after I did istikhara (faced some work problems) but some marriage related posts on fb randomly appeared to me. I think this person is right for me because he’s one of the few religious Muslims here. What should I do?

ANSWER: Your prayer is valid as long as you prayed it within the allocated time. The best would be to pray in the earliest time. You should be worried if you missed it with the congregation while the masjid is within the vicinity.
