An Important Benefit Regarding Istikharah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then, there is something else: if a matter is unclear to you, turn to the One in whose hand the matter lies, Allah (Mighty and Majestic), by what? By istikharah. Pray two rak'ahs, then make the supplication of istikharah. If the outcome is what it is—whether it is what you wanted first or what you wanted second—that is the best. I mean, some people say, "I must change my first opinion if I perform istikharah." That is not correct. Rather, if you perform istikharah and Allah facilitates for you wherever He facilitates, that is the good, because you asked your Lord (Mighty and Majestic), saying, "O Allah, I seek Your counsel by Your knowledge," to the end of the hadith. Yes.
