The Ruling on the Supplication for Guidance (Istikhara) in a Language Other Than Arabic

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it necessary for the istikhara (the prayer for guidance in a decision) to be in Arabic?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. All acts of worship are in Arabic for those who are proficient in it, while the one who is not proficient in it supplicates in his own language. Yes.
