Is one prayer of istikharah sufficient for multiple matters?

The questioner:
If a person intends to do two things, O Shaykh, is there a prayer of istikharah for each matter, or is it sufficient to pray one prayer? Also, regarding lawful deeds and lawful matters, am I allowed to seek guidance through istikharah in them?

The Shaykh:
If he intends to do two things, and he intends to do both of them together, then one prayer is sufficient; he prays two rak'ahs for both matters, or for the matters, as long as he intends to do them all together. But if he intends to do each one separately, at different times, he prays the prayer of istikharah for each one if he wishes. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Regarding lawful matters, is there istikharah in them, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
As for matters where the benefit is apparent, whether they are lawful matters or not, but the benefit in them is apparent, then there is no need for istikharah. Yes.
