Question:
Is it permissible for a person to make the du'a' (supplication) of istikharah (the prayer for guidance in a decision) after finishing the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones), or after the Dhuha prayer, or the greeting of the mosque, or anything else?

Answer:
Other than the obligatory prayer, then he makes the du'a' (supplication) that was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after those two, and he does not make it after any prayer other than the istikharah (the prayer for guidance in a decision); he does not make it after the other voluntary prayers.
