The Ruling on the Prayer of Istikharah in Matters of Difficulty
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Finally, from my questions, one asks about the prayer of istikharah: is it performed in acts of worship and transactions? In all matters of difficulty that are important in a person's life, such as marriage, trade, travel, partnership, or anything else.
Answer:
The Muslim prays two rak'ahs and makes the supplication of istikharah after his taslim from the two rak'ahs. As for ordinary matters or matters that are not difficult, there is no need for the prayer of istikharah in them. It is only for these matters of difficulty where one does not know which is better to do or to leave.
