Is there a specific time for the prayer of istikharah, and where is the place for the supplication?

Question:
At what point in the prayer of istikharah is the supplication made? And is there a specific time of day or night for the prayer of istikharah? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for the prayer of istikharah, it is prescribed when a person wants to do something or undertake a project and is uncertain whether to proceed with it or withdraw from it. In that case, it is prescribed for him to pray two rak'ahs that are not part of the obligatory prayer, and then, when he has finished them, he makes the supplication of istikharah that was transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Allah, I seek Your counsel through Your knowledge, and I seek Your power through Your might. You know and I do not know, and You have power and I do not. You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if this matter—and he names it—is good for me in my religion, my worldly affairs, and the outcome of my affair, then decree it for me. And if this matter—and he names it—is evil for me in my religion, my worldly affairs, and the outcome of my affair, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me the good wherever it may be, and then make me content with it." This is the supplication of istikharah.
As for when one prays the prayer of istikharah, there is no fixed time for it. Rather, it is done when one has need of it. Whenever he needs it and the matter is unclear to him, he prays this prayer and then makes this supplication after it. Yes.
