Is the prayer of istikharah prescribed for choosing the stronger of two rulings presented in a specific issue?

The questioner : In the hadith regarding the night and day prayers, two by two...

The questioner : Is istikharah permissible in legal rulings? There are two rulings that have confused a person, so is it permissible for him to pray istikharah regarding them?

The Shaykh : No

The questioner : I mean, he takes the stronger one, O Shaykh. There are two rulings that have confused a person.

The Shaykh : I mean, does "stronger" mean evidence?

The questioner : Does he not pray the prayer...

The Shaykh : This is the obligatory thing.
...The pharmacy prevents him from wearing Arab clothing, and that is what is emphasized. If I said, for example, that he works in carpentry, and he currently has machines and fears that the machine will catch his tail, we might perhaps say that this is an excuse. But if the pharmacist wears Arab clothing completely, there is nothing wrong with it and no blame on him. What you are shortening, when he stands for prayer, he wears the thobe. This is a type of clericalism, meaning the one who worships wears special clothing, and in his life affairs he has a second clothing. This does not exist in Islam. It is clear.

The questioner : Yes, it is clear.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, welcome... It is clear that you are a carpenter.

The questioner : ...It will not end...

The Shaykh : I am asking you what you mean by fighting him?

The questioner : What do I do with him?

The questioner : ...Praying in the mosque where he leads.

The Shaykh : My dear, I understood the question, but in the end, he is asking whether it is permissible to fight him. He says, is it permissible or obligatory to fight him?

The questioner : The intention behind "fighting him" is not to kill him.

The Shaykh : Therefore, I do not understand this meaning, so I want to understand what you mean by the word "fighting."

The questioner : A man who does not stop, and we forbid him, and we go with him to his house...

The Shaykh : Why do you repeat the question, my dear? I understood the whole question, but what do you mean by the word "fighting"?

The questioner : I mean staying away from praying in the mosque where he is, or we pray with him, or we separate some of the brothers from the mosque where he is.

The Shaykh : You have a mosque with an imam who prays according to the Sunnah. It is self-evident that you turn away from that one and come...

The questioner : In our industrial area in Abu Alunda, we have a man who is engaged in innovations... What do we do?

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. Do you have a second imam? Do you have a second imam in a second place to go to? This does not mean that you fight the man. You keep advising him and reminding him. If he responds, that is good and excellent. If he does not respond, leave him and pray with those who are upon the Sunnah. It is clear.

The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.

The questioner : Regarding kissing the private parts of a woman.

The Shaykh : Kissing?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : This is the work of dogs and animals.

The questioner : It happens in normal prayer when you pray...

The Shaykh : In the second case, Professor, in the second case where you do not pray.

The questioner : And there is nothing in it.

The Shaykh : "Nothing" means you are speaking accurately.

The questioner : You are speaking accurately and everything.

The Shaykh : But she does not pray.

The questioner : You do not pray and there is nothing, now you pray and you went to the House of Allah, and it comes to her as if...

The Shaykh : How old is she?

The questioner : Her age is about fifty years.

The questioner : And she stands up at night and starts to cry and asks Allah to give her humility and faith, daily crying to the point of madness.

The Shaykh : I do not know, by Allah. We ask Allah for her well-being. I have no answer for that.
