The place for the du'a' of istikharah and raising the hands in it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the du'a' of the prayer of istikharah before the taslim or after the taslim?
The Shaykh:
No, once he says the taslim, he has finished the two rak'ahs and said the taslim, so he makes the du'a' of istikharah outside the prayer of istikharah. Yes.
The questioner:
And does he raise his hands?
The Shaykh:
He prays two rak'ahs; he prays, and he is not considered to be praying until he says the taslim. Yes.
The questioner:
And is it prescribed for him to raise his hands at that time?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with raising the hands. Yes.
