1. Istikhara prayer is prescribed when embarking on any undertaking, such as accepting a suitor.
2. The mentioned about Salatul Haja (Prayer of Need) is not authentic; it is fabricated and a lie.
3. There is no specific supplication for facilitating marriage, but one should ask Allah for provision and goodness.
4. Working in playing musical instruments, music, and drumming is forbidden, and the salary derived from it is unlawful money. If the young man repents and leaves this work, then there is no impediment to marrying him; otherwise, there is no good in him.
