Istikhara in acts of worship and worldly matters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Regarding istikhara, Shaykh, or rather, is istikhara specific to acts of worship, or does it apply to all actions and Hajj?
Answer:
Acts of worship do not require istikhara, my brother. The benefit in them is apparent, and one does not perform istikhara for Hajj or prayer; rather, one proceeds with them. As for worldly matters where one does not know whether they are suitable for him or not, that is where istikhara is performed. Yes.
