The place of the istikharah supplication in the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : May Allah honor you, O Shaykh. Where in the prayer is the istikharah supplication performed?

The Shaykh : The istikharah supplication is after the taslim, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Let him pray two rak'ahs, then let him say

فليصل ركعتين ثم ليقل

and he mentioned the supplication.
