Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I have two different matters and I want to seek guidance for them, should I pray a separate prayer of istikharah for each one, or should I combine them in one prayer?
Answer:
If you want to combine them, meaning you want to do both matters together, then seek guidance for them with one istikharah. But if you want to do each one separately, then you seek guidance for each one separately.
