Question:
AA. I done istikhara for guidance as to whether or not I should take out a non molestation order and occupation order and get a divorce to get my husband out of my life. I done the istikhara two days ago but I still have mixed feelings and am anxious about going through with it, especially in relation to my children, although everything including his own mouth being nasty to me and admitting it indicates that he has been unfaithful to me the past week alone and had relations with another woman. He is also violent and extremely nasty to me most of the time. I am worried about a dream I had last night. Can you interpret dreams? I have three young children. The dream I had was that my four year old daughter (youngest) was hit by a white van. The dream was quick all I saw was a white van hit my daughter and I rushed to her but it then it looked like it was too late and he eyes were wide open like something terrrible had happened to her. I skipped a breath almost and woke up at that point. It was very scary. The most thing I am worried about is his threats that he will take my children off me if I leave but he is no nasty that there are also threats to me if i stay and don’t leave too. He says I’m hanging on to nothing and I’m a mug for sticking around and he’ll continue to mess with my head and cheat on me too. Please can you help me.
Answer:
As salām ʿalaikum wa raḥmatullāhī wa barakātuhu
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Sister in Islām,
If what you have stated regarding your husband is a reflection of the reality, it is indeed unfortunate and quite concerning.
We would advise you to seek counsel from a reputable local ʿālim regarding the molestation order, occupation order, and divorce. If you would indicate to us which area in the UK you are from, we would gladly direct you to an ʿālim or organisation that may assist you. Such behaviour from your husband is indeed cruel and unacceptable.
The like of the dream in question as per our interpretation may refer to some difficulty you will face which will then be followed by happiness and peace.
And Allāh Taʿālā knows best.
