Question Detail:

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

You state your father is pious. He made istikharah objectively and his istikharah turned out negative.

You should consider your father’s istikharah and exercise restraint from getting married.

It is possible your istikharah was a reflection of your mind as you had already decided to marry the girl.

Nevertheless, if you decide to proceed with the nikaah, your father’s negative istikharah should not be an obstacle for him to attend the nikaah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

Muhammad
