Question

I have been in contact with a boy through emails only sometimes for school work. I did Istikhara about whether to be friends with him or not because he is a boy. I prayed two Rakats of Istikhara and read the dua of Istikhara. When I slept I had a dream that he is typing a message to me then everything is becoming green (as grass,and trees growing) and when I am reading his email everywhere there is grass, flowers and trees growing and my mom is also with me and she can also see them. Then the second time i did Istikhara I saw that my dad is telling me to go somewhere but I need someone to go with me and then my dad tells me to go with him and I go with him. Please interpret my dreams of Istikhara.

Answer

It is Haraam (strictly prohibited) for you to have any contact whatsoever. Any unnecessary communication with the boy will be regarded as Zina (adultery).

That dream is a whisper of the Shaytaan. It is not appropriate to consider having a friendship with the boy or even to make Istikhaara for that. Istikhaara is not made to perform any Haraam act.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
