Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: You mentioned to us, may Allah grant you success, in the previous lesson the prescribed nature of istikharah in a matter of hesitation. The question is: If he performed the istikharah prayer and did not feel reassured, but rather felt hesitation, does he repeat the istikharah once?
Answer:
He repeats the istikharah until the hesitation ceases for him. He repeats it. Now, this is an act of worship.
