What is the religious ruling regarding the obligation or non-obligation of acting upon a vision seen after performing Salat al-Istikhara, especially if the vision pertains to the subject of the Istikhara itself? Is it obligatory to act upon it whether it indicates good or evil? And based on a vision that involved the collapse of the workplace building, water hitting it, and a red sky, which recurred after the second Istikhara for the same job, and was accompanied by the family's disbelief in it, does this vision indicate evil in this job across all its departments? And if the questioner feels psychological discomfort at work and left it secretly due to the Istikhara vision, is this action correct? Was their decision delayed or premature, and is it a result of the Istikhara vision? What is the ruling if the questioner continues to work despite knowing about this vision? And should one take into consideration visions that clearly and quickly come true for them, even if they are not after Istikhara?
The mentioned dream does not necessarily have a connection to Istikhara, nor is it a condition for the validity of Istikhara to have a dream afterwards. The preponderant opinion is that a person who performs a sincere Istikhara will only do that which is good for them. No practical ruling is built upon a dream. If the work is free from religious violations, it is advisable to obey the family and not leave the job, especially if the parents are meant, because obeying them is obligatory unless it involves disobedience. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, guided on how to deal with a bad dream by seeking refuge, spitting lightly, and not speaking about it.
