Istikhara related

Well,  her father has already passed away.. and brothers are younger and their opinion doesn't count.  So everything is on her mother...

Abb kya karein !! Is she expecting some angels to come down and clear her as authentic proof [IMG]smileys/smiley5.gif" align="middle" /> Sorry, but how these people make easy things go tough.

How did she do Istikharah. I mean kahin woh QTv wala istekharah tho nahi ? If she has read 2 rakah salah and this dua, ask her to give the meaning. Else, you can do one thing, take a print from any site, which teaches us the correct way of doing Istekharah and correct approach about it. See that it reaches her

Meanwhile, make duas that Allah swt blesses her with good understanding, insha Allah.

Walaikum salaam wa rahmatullah,

May Allah swt ease the conditions of the girl. Ameen.

You do have correct understanding of Istikharah.

Now to the question if the girl's mother can do it :

Before that , we will have a look at the meaning of this dua :

O Allah! I seek goodness from Your Knowledge and with Your Power (and Might) I seek strength, and I ask from You Your Great Blessings, because You have the Power and I do not have the power. You Know everything and I do not know, and You have knowledge of the unseen. Oh Allah! If in Your Knowledge this action ------------------------------------------------ (which I intend to do) is better for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then make it destined for me and make it easy for me and then add blessings [baraka'] in it, for me. O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this action is bad for me, bad for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then turn it away from me and turn me away from it and whatever is better for me, ordain [destine] that for me and then make me satisfied with it."

Note the words before and after that blank - If in Your Knowledge this action ------------------------------------------------ (which I intend to do) is better for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then make it destined for me and make it easy for me and then add blessings [baraka'] in it, for me. O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this action is bad for me, bad for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then turn it away from me and turn me away from it and whatever is better for me, ordain [destine] that for me and then make me satisfied with it.

All we make duas in it are, if its good for 'me' -- we find the words - 'me', 'my' - So its clear that only the girl {in you case} shud do this Istikharah.
