Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, after performing the prayer for guidance (istikharah), does a person feel reassurance about the matter for which he sought guidance, or does the matter depend on the divine decree (qadar) that befalls him?
Answer:
A person takes the cause, prays the prayer for guidance (istikharah), and makes the supplication of istikharah. If he leans toward one of the two sides regarding which he sought guidance, he takes the side that appears stronger to him and places his reliance on Allah the Exalted. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best.
