Is the prayer of istikharah prescribed in teaching knowledge?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is the prayer of istikharah prescribed in teaching knowledge, such as for one who wants to give a positive response?

Answer:
Teaching knowledge has an apparent benefit; there is no issue with it, so it does not require istikharah. Not every matter with an apparent benefit requires istikharah. Istikharah is for problematic matters where one does not know whether it is correct or not, or whether it is in one's interest or not. Yes.
