waht does it mean when two people do istikhaara and one gets a positive answer and one gets a negative answer?
Answer
Firstly, let it be known that the results of the Istikhaarah are not Yaqeeni (absolute).
Taking this principle into account, it is possible for people to get conflicting responses to their respective Istikhaaras. In the case of the aforementioned question, he may repeat the Istikhaara. Assuming that the person who got a positive answer feels that the other person's Istikhaarais more superior and reliable, he may accept the other person's Istikhaara and reject his own. Insha Allah, he will not be held to task for contravening his Istikhaara as this is not based on 'Ilmul Yaqeen' (absolute knowledge).
