Istekhara for marriage

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

I know a boy, whom I met through a matrimonial site. He is well educated and religious and I feel that with him I would be happy. I don’t know much details about him as he has not provided them. Also the final decision will be taken by his father. I have been doing istekhara for 7 days but no result and no inclination in my heart either for yes or for no. Please tell me any specific dua that would help me. Should I carry forward with him or not and some dua by which his father would agree for our nikah. Please make dua for us as we both like each other a lot.

It is not necessary that after praying istikhara one should get some kind of an indication but if you do then go by the direction of your desire and most likely Allah will help you and put blessings in it. Also, after the fajr prayer recite sura fatiha 41 times and make a prayer your desires would be fulfilled.
