Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If my travel is during a prohibited time, is the prayer of istikharah prescribed for me?

Answer:
You pray it. I mean, is it immediately upon travel? You pray it. Did you resolve, if you intended to travel or wanted to travel, you pray it. Even if you pray it at the beginning of the day and travel at the end of it, or pray it at the beginning of the night and travel at the end of it, it is not obligatory that you travel immediately after you finish the taslim. Yes.
