She instructs him about it until he asks from her.

يَسْأَلَ he asks

A present-tense verb with a built-in 'he' subject, sitting in the subjunctive shape because the 'until' particle before it demands it. The subjunctive ending signals this is the end-point being worked toward, 'until he should ask', not something already happening. So the form itself marks it as the aimed-at result.
