When is istikharah performed: after resolving on one of the two matters, or when hesitating and being confused between them?

Question : Which is correct regarding the supplication in the supplication of istikharah? Is it resolving on one of the two matters and then performing istikharah, or performing istikharah while hesitating and being confused between them? Between two matters?

Answer : No, istikharah is performed when hesitating, so that Allah chooses for him what is better. Yes. For example, if he wants to perform istikharah now and does not know whether this is good or not, he performs istikharah. But if he knows that it is good, he does not need istikharah.
