The Difference Between Du'a' and Istighathah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, meaning du'a' and istighathah, is there a difference between them?

Answer:
Du'a' is broader than istighathah. Istighathah is du'a' in specific circumstances, namely times of distress, hardship, and affliction. As for du'a', it is wider. You call upon Allah for every need, even if you are not in dire necessity for it. Yes.
