The Prayer of Istikharah in the Times of Prohibition and Its Repetition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the prayer of istikharah permissible in the times of prohibition?
The Shaykh:
Allah has not set a specific time for the prohibition. If the time of prohibition arrives, he prays it, because there is scholarly disagreement on this matter, and it is not included in the disagreement, and there is leeway in it, praise be to Allah.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person prays the prayer for guidance and then nothing becomes clear to him, what should he do?
The Shaykh:
He should repeat it. He repeats the prayer for guidance until one of the two matters becomes more prominent in his mind. Yes.
