Is istikharah performed for every matter, or only for important matters?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is istikharah performed for simple and small matters, such as buying electrical appliances and the like, or for religious matters?

Answer:
It is for important matters. If you are inclined toward an important matter, such as marriage, trade, or travel, and you have not yet resolved to do it and are hesitating, then you should perform the prayer of istikharah regarding it. As for simple matters, easy matters, and matters of no value, there is no need for istikharah.
