When is istikharah prescribed, and if one has made up one's mind, does one still perform istikharah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah bless you. We mentioned that istikharah is not prescribed except in cases of hesitation, when one is undecided about a matter. Sometimes a person is resolute about a matter, and it is in his interest as far as he knows, but he recalls the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:216]. So, is istikharah performed in such matters?
Answer : It is not prescribed. If one has made up one's mind, there is no istikharah.
and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you
وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْAnswer : It is not prescribed. If one has made up one's mind, there is no istikharah.
